Cel = Limp Mode?

A few people told me that my check engine light for my rear 02 (no cat) affects performance. Has anyone ever heard anything about this?

Yes, P0420 .... catlytic efficiency is below threshhold.

Meaning rear O2 sensor is picking up more CO and HC than normal if your cat-less.

Other H/F cat spits this code to but less often.
