Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank by SublimeAutos1(m): 4:23pm On Nov 03, 2021 |
The Below article is put together to address certain misconceptions that arise when Catalytic converters are talked up, Plus I've had some persons send me private messages on WhatsApp asking series of questions. It is my belief that this article would be educative to You... I need to point out that the article was put together to the best of my knowledge, so I am open to more ideas and modifications... Let's Talk about Catalysts The function of the catalytic converter is to break down harmful pollutants that are created by your vehicle during the combustion cycle and convert them into less harmful gases. Code P0420 indicates that the catalytic converter is not functioning efficiently, therefore increasing the output of harmful pollutants by the vehicle. What Are the Symptoms of a missing Catalyst? Check Engine Light is on. This is not in most cases though, because I have got clients who said theirs didn't actually show it. Lack of power from the engine. Most of you would agree that you can drive your car without a catalyst but climbing a hilly surface at times can be a struggle. This is partly attributed to the missing catalyst... Decreased fuel economy. You would also witness a decrease in fuel economy. Your car uses more fuel than before because the missing catalyst has distorted the air fuel balance and that makes the sensor send an error code... If you don't fix that, you would likely be using more fuel than before... Another thing is that you would agree that the sound of your car would be different when there isn't a catalyst than when there was. And without a catalyst, the Sound isn't pleasant. This is because your catalyst doubles also as a Noise Muffler too... What Is the Cause of P0420? Faulty oxygen sensor Faulty air-fuel sensor Worn or internally failing catalytic converter (Most Common) A leak in the exhaust system Misfire (the root cause of converter failure) Rich or Lean air-fuel ratio (the root cause of converter failure) Leaded Gasoline (the root cause of converter failure)... Another thing I want to address is this, Before you go and arrest your mechanic for your missing cat, you should also realize that most times, these cars came in without a cat... Who say Oyinbo no de thief too. Lol This article was written off my Head, so permit my errors but i am pretty sure I addressed some issues based on some questions I've been asked recently ... As you might need to Know, I sell Catalytic Converters People of God, my number is on my signature, send me a message on WhatsApp or call me let's do business... Car dealership that have got theirs removed and need a partnership on a discount, send in a message on WhatsApp let's discuss... 2 Likes |

Who says P0420 is all about faulty catalyst . I will later do a thread to address this controversial topic. 2 Likes |

autologic: Point out where I said it was all about Catalysts and I'd make adjustments... There is virtually no point whatsoever coming under here to challenge the post. You could have just gone ahead to make your thread and I'd learn too. I really don't have anything to say to you but I sincerely hope that your motive for dropping by here is achieved... Happy Weekend |

HenryWilliams: Same here . Apparently my cat was absent when dealer bought it so instead of replacing with oem he bought the Chinese one which I currently use. However my check engine light is still always on and my mpg is not so good for a 2013 accord |
