Hello All, 
  
I'm actually the guy with all the issues listed.  My brother was helping me out.  Today I replaced the Cat. Pipe and replaced both front and rear O2.  The cat pipe is a Federal vs California.  Reset the engine errors codes, and will drive it.  Hopefully I won't see another check engine code. 
  
Can't Remember the error code, but per AutoZone, the readings indicated: 
1)  A/F 
2)  Cat. 
  
If this fails, how do I go about checking the ECU for open/close? 
  
Thanks for all your help!!  :-\
