HELP, I NEED SOME ADVISE.
I had code P1189 Bank 1 sensor 1. I replaced back pre cat o2 sensor. I still had same code , so I replaced the other pre cat o2 sensor. The code is still present and engine has a miss at idle and when accelerating from dead stop. It also misses bad when accelerating at 40-50 mph, lacks power etc.
I cleared code and light comes right back on. I was wondering if the Cat is the problem, possibly clogged etc....
Please respond with your thoughts.

John, my wifes car had similar problem, and I think it was throwing the same codes. I changed O2 sensors, plugs, and some other things before taking it to the dealer. It had a few leaky vacuum lines.
My cat is bad on the car, due for inspection next week. Gotta go buy the cat clear stuff, which will turn off the check engine light, allowing me to pass emissions!! _________________ joe
