2012 Expedition P0430 HELP

I just replaced all 8 spark plugs and ignition coils about a week ago (was getting misfire on 2 cylinders and CEL was on). Truck has 135k miles

Couple days ago CEL came on with P0430 code “Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2”

Did the misfires mess up the catalytic converters? Or could it be the downstream oxygen sensor just needs replaced?

Probably. You didn't identify the two misfiring cylinders, though.

Don't shoot the messenger.

The original codes were “Random misfire”, “Cylinder 1 misfire” and “Cylinder 8 misfire”

Don't be surprised if bank 1 codes appear, also.

Anti-foulers.

I have to have emissions testing performed as a condition of license renewal where I live so the PCM has to be happy.
