    P0141 code = 2 bad cat converters?

    Hey guys, I just took my 1996 xlt ex into the shop today to get a code checked out. The mechanic said it was a p0141 error code. From the research that I have done indicates a bad o2 sensor, but the mechanics said the sensors indicated that it was actually 2 bad cat converters. To me that sounds...
