Check engine light kept coming on and car would not pass emissions inspection. Several resets of codes and elimination revealed O2 sensor/catalytic converter failure. Replacement of both sensors did not solve issue. Replacement of one converter temporarily stopped light coming on but second converter had to be replaced to completely eliminate issue.
