Do the Pedal Trick and find out the code, then someone can give you a good idea how serious it is: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90581.msg1155463#msg1155463

FWIW the DBW cars (2.6 & 3.2) are notorious for throwing a CAT Efficiency Code which can be safely ignored..

Yup that's exactly it - weld a new O2 sensor boss on after the main CAT and move the sensor there (bung up the boss before the CAT, obviously).

Like already said above and in the PM try the Pedal Trick to see what Fault/Faults are stored in the ECU..
