Default Someone please help my bug!

ok here is my problem>
3weeks my bug started running very bad,misfiring and at times no power, check engine light is on went to auto zone to read codes. It said po300, po301,and system 2 lean bank 1. So I replaced spark plugs and coil packs,changed my o2 sensor. Today I got a new catalytic converter. and guess what.. about 1 hour later check engine light came back on ( car is running good) , went back to auto zone to have codes read, and it is saying exactly the same codes that I just had before i did all the repairs.. Can some one please tell me what is going on.

What about your MAF? If I remember correctly there are two O2 sensors, check the other one. How many coil packs did you replace? Is your NB eligible for the coil pack recall?

If you valve cover gasket goes bad and leaks oil onto the coil pack, then yes.

MAF = Mass Air Flow Sensor.

If I'm not mistaken there are two O2 sensors, one before the CAT and one after. Which one did you replace?
