you may have to reset your computer to get rid of the fault code. When i had a 3.9 V6 i had to do the same to clear the fault code and check engine light. Hope this helps.

Unplug the battery, then turn the ign. key to start for 15-30 seconds. That clears out the entire computer fault code bank.

Take it to the dealer. It sounds like your cat is bad. Fed law requires the dealer to warranty the cat for 8yrs/80K mi. I just had mine replaced at 54K.

Fault code P0320 is the Crankshaft position sensor reference signal cannot be found while the engine is cranking. this is the fault code on my computer right now. and even after it has been replaced my truck now runs worse! and the fault code hasn't went away! by worse i mean that it has become very hard starting sence i replaced that sensor pluse it still has that old problems of which i alread talked about.

Then just go with Yogi's suggestion - you're covered. Please let us know what it is once you get it fixed. I doubt its the cat but almost everything that would set the MIL light except for plugs and filters should be covered by that federal emissions warranty.
