What is the code (as a lot of descriptions from unofficial sources are complete crap), and what engine.

Fault code came back :

  P0430 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)

What does this mean 

Car was standing unused for about 6 weeks but ive been using the car for 3 weeks now and when the eml comes on it does not affect the engine at all .

You can safely ignore that one. The usual pre-cat monitoring problem that is common to 3.2s and less so 2.6s.

Solution is to relocate the secondary lambda sensors behind the main cats.

Thanks kevin , i did think that was just a 3.2 problem . Maybe another pre-cat party at sereks in the summer

Or, drive in a manner that reduces the chances of P0420/P0430 ever showing.    Never had that issue on mine for some reason.

Apologies, my comment sounds like a rude response and it wasn't intended that way. I have heard that it's very common for the 3.2 but haven't suffered it on mine. The only time my eml came on was when I'd put contaminated fuel in it a while back, for which I was refunded.

Funnily enough the light came on after putting in some normal unleaded "BP", maybe after re setting the eml i should try some super unleaded for a while and see how long it takes for the light to come on 
Do you sugest an italian tune up 

[Bigron]

Worth giving "Cataclean" a go?

Ron.

Naah. You'll drive yourself mad trying to figure out if it's this or that or whether potion A helps over potion B. Put up with the light. If that drives you mad, relocate the sensors.

No offence taken. I guess "pootling along behind some retard at just below torque converter lockup speed" isn't the manner you're referring to, or my commute would have fixed the problem long ago.

Errr, no.

As YZ250 has far too politely suggested, drive it properly. If you don't want to, move the sensors as Kevin Wood says - this requires a bit of drilling and welding, and possible 2 sensors.

Don't bother with the snake oils, or expensive petrol. You will find it impossible to reach a conclusion.
