P0133 HO2S Slow Response Sensor 1 ECM, PCM
P0420 Catalyst System Low Efficiency ECM, PCM
P0172 Fuel Trim System Rich ECM, PCM
P1133 HO2S Insufficient Switching Sensor 1 ECM, PCM

I'd get your ECM/PCM checked out. Those are what the codes mean

i was reading some other posts and its possible that i could have messed up an o2 sensor when i ran some race gas.

yea race gas will f---k up your 02 sensor, but I dont think it would throw the rest of the codes would it?

you could try that. I believe you can trouble shoot it on hptuners...

A member in our club had ECM/PCM issues and was thowing similar codes. GM replaced the whole thing (under warranty) which i doubt that they will warranty yours. (sorry )

Race gas kills O2 sensors. It burns hotter there for the exhaust is hotter and can melt them and /or damage them in side. Thats prob where your codes are coming from......

The front O2 should run you about 80 $ and than just put it on your self and run it till it happens again or have it re-tuned for 93.....
