I fixed the first one by replacing both of them as mentioned in the first post.

I'd suggest using a scan tool (I assume inpa can do this but I have no idea how) to look at your O2 sensor values after the car has warmed up. When you first start up they should jump around a bit, but once catalytic converter reaches operating temp should stabilize. Do they continue to jump around or do you get bizarre readings? If not then I'd think the catalytic converter is the culprit.

Good luck.
Thanks, i will try that.
