    PO421 Warm up catalyst,Bank 1 Efficiency Below Threshold
    PO159 O2 Sensor Cir, Bank 2 Sensor2 Slow response
    P2098 Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System to lean Bank 2

    The first two codes are for your After cat O2 sensors which you just need to relocate and you should be fine after that. Third code is for a vauume leak. Pressurize your system and look for leaks it's not good to be running lean. Bank 2 is the drivers side.
