Hi everyone,

Thank you, Scotty, and everyone who is working on answering people's questions. This is my first car and I feel it's burning too much fuel. I bought a think OBD scan tool recommended by Scotty and these are my error codes: 

P013c: the fault code is not found in the database
P0420: catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1
P0456: Evaporative emission system leaks detected (very small leak)
P013c: the fault code is not in the database
P0420: catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1
P013c: the fault code is not found in the database
P0430: catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1

 

the car has 136670 original miles

 

Someone please advise what this means, or have I just bought a money pit?

Well you probably did buy a money pit but knowing Ford's is probably needs new catalytic converters if you have two that's a pretty expensive endeavor.


Thanks Scotty. Would that affect fuel efficiency tho?
