Default engine light

just fitted a new lambda sensor today on my 2002 bugeye, reset the ecu. the engine light came on again within a min....... could it mean a faulty cat?... was told it may be blocked. is there a way to unblock it or is it a case of a new cat?.

any advice please guys

Which one you are fit Lambda Sensor,Denso or Bosch?
Because if you are fit incorrect lambda sensor you will still get CEL...
