possible catalytic converter, if high milage, and engine starting to burn oil, it will cause the cat to go bad. ( what is your milage and are you adding oil between oil changes? )

Thanks and yes the car does have pretty high milage(170000+)and I add oil every now and then, hardly any. Could this also be a o2 sensor failure?
