#44 of 45 Stalled start, slightly fluctuating rpms, pf420 inefficiency below thresh

Every time I go to start my 2001 Chevrolet Impala, it takes at least three tries before it cranks. its giving me what I remembered being a pf420 code below threshold. I replaced my o2 censor before the cat converter but no cigar. I also believe my alternator is falling behind because the brightness of all of the interior and ext lights fluctuates as well.
I was told it was probably a crank sensor but wanted a second opinion before I go spending that money.

I assume you meant P0420 in your post. I did not see any mention of the crank sensor in this information: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0420
They mention a faulty cat or a faulty O2 sensor. The sensor after the cat is reading the same as the sensor before the cat.
