53219 mi Engine light came on, Error code P0306 missfire #6 cylinder. Dealership replaced cylinder head under warranty.

After having the van for about a week I noticed van coolant temp was not getting beyond 145-155 degrees. Replaced thermostat which fixed the issue. Unfortunately I believe the van may have been driven for a long period of time in this low temp/rich fueling state as I am getting p420 and p430 CEL codes from the Cats...they could have been fouled by the excess fueling....van runs great though, no loss of power, so I know they are not clogged up.
