Car wouldn't start. Starter was bad. Replaced it. Car started good for a while. Now it starts sometime. I have to tap the gas to start it then let go. If I just try to start it with tapping the gas. It either start then cut off or won't start. Engine turns over just won't catch. I had it checked by computer. The codes were p0430,p0420. Something about the catalytic converter and bank 1 and bank 2 but I don't have a catalytic converter on the car. Help please.

    Bank 1 and Bank 2 codes are about oxygen sensors. How do you not have an catalytic convertor on the car? Did you remove it? Otherwise, it has one.

    A bad O2 sensor can cause turning over but not catching.
