Isn’t there a federal law/warranty that a cat should be good for 8 years or 80k miles– it’s a free replacement before then.
Just a thought.
Just a few things from reading this thread.
1. The hesitation– does it happen while driving, at idle or both?
2. In your initial post, you showed the codes you pulled. One is P2122– Autozone site shows it as this:
Trouble Code: P2122
Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch -D- Circuit Low Input
Possible Causes:
Poor connector
Faulty APS1 (accelerator position sensor 1)
Open or short in APS1 circuit
Faulty PCM
I’d start with checking connections. Also, make sure the battery connection is good– those things caused me a lot of different grief 🙂
May try cleaning as suggested as well. You said it sat for a few months.

Just to throw in my $0.02– Sometimes when I can’t figure out the cause of an issue– I take it in and let the mechanic diagnose– I actually do the work of fixing it- but it gives you a place to start and usually for pretty cheap.

How are you reading the O2 values? Through the scanner or with a Volt Meter? I’d make sure the circuit they’re on has good power and ground.

If you say the biggest clue is that when the engine is cold it has the issue, it could be due to the metal/plastic expending when it’s warm. So if it’s a vacuum leak– once things warm up and expend– the leak gets sealed. There could be other issues 😉

I think last week someone had a similar problem here after putting in a new radiator. In the end, the issue was that the radiator came with some sort of a plug where the hoses connect that needed to be removed 🙂

I am always suspicious of battery use for things that require a lot of umpf.
Many years ago I bought a craftsman compressor for $230 at sears. Don’t remember it’s size, but I remember it was even rated for spray painting. I’ve used it on anything from working on cars to working on my basement. Not a bad investment. Also, I ended up buying a twin hammer 1/2″ impact gun from Harbor Freight for $79 with 625 ft/lb when I was taking apart a CJ7. I was surprised how much power it actually had for a cheap tool.

Tomh, that makes perfect sense, but the car is stock. That’s why I’m wondering if anyone is aware of perhaps 2012 Subarus and alternators that can’t keep up with the basic accessories.
