P0420, as I understand it, is a plugged pre-cat right? And P1151 indicates a lean condition, right?

Am I driving wrong or something, what would cause this twice?

Also, since I've pulled these codes, the car will sometimes stall under hard decelleration.

FYI: 98.5 SVT. Only mods are MAF adapter & K&N and removed resonator.

TIA,

Sounds like you might have a leak on intake side. Did you just install the K&N????
