for me the solution was to replace both sensors. they both went bad within a few weeks ago -- but timed perfectly that only one came up, fixed, the other was there (no scan in the middle). So I'd go...

Went to advance auto - the evap codes and po 430 are still there, no biggie, they dont really effect the way the car drives.

the PO430, it appears, is likely one of the oxygen sensors in/around the pre-cat (says much searching), but it could also be the cat itself. The whining happened again this morning, and the first...
