they give me a brief descriptions of the code on the bill.
(probably because if i go see them again for repair , they will need to redo the scan... you get the idea$$$ )

You will need an 02 simulator or have the code programmed out of your computer. I think Foghorn has a DHP Powertuner and can program the code out for you if you are close to him. The rear 02 is useless and only good for emissions testing.

thats what i was thinking, but was not sure, ill try to contact him , may be 30 minutes between us.
so i suppose its normal to get that code, but for the too rich mixture, is it because of the cat too? or a bad front O2 sensor?
Thank you Rogue!
also optmusprimer , appreciated.

ok,i just got back from the dealer,
the code is : P0420
from him it seem to be bad cat or O2 sensor. ( i still dont told him i was running high flow cat)
also he tell me that a o2 sensor worth over 150$ can. ...is it right??
quite expensive, im wondering if its bulls...
since i paid 200$ for a boost control solenoid with the diagnostic(a code was throwed by PCM,so it was a fast diagnostic) and install at the beginning of summer... ( newbie at this period)
for any help or hint
