    Experiencing a frustrating lack of power and sluggish acceleration in your car or truck, while also having a P0420 or P0430 check engine code? This combination of issues often points to problems within your vehicle's exhaust system and catalytic converters. In this video, Andy explains how a failed catalytic converter can cause these symptoms, and points you in the right direction for fixing them yourself. The P0420 code signifies a potential catalyst efficiency below the established threshold, while P0430 indicates a similar issue with the other bank of the engine. These codes can lead to reduced engine performance, making your car or truck feel sluggish or slow. Addressing these concerns promptly is crucial, as they not only impact your vehicle's power but also contribute to emission-related problems. Diagnosing and fixing the causes of these symptoms is essential to restore your vehicle's power and overall efficiency on the road.

    Lately these scanners have been a 100% fail. They lead you in the wrong direction. The old multimeter has been very useful and saves alot of frustration.

    I added seafoam to my gas tank x2 and it cleared out my cat, and now it runs and it idols great, recently my truck was running rough for a few months and when summer came it took forever for the AC to cool the cap, so I added two cans of r134 and it cleared up both issues !
    Me very happy now😊🥳🇺🇸

    Sorry I have to disagree with you about the replacement or changing the 02 sensor or sensors just because. If there was a problem with them you would have had a code as well , if you used a scanner you surely know,in which the DIYer doesn’t have. Make sure that DIY use factory 02. Mix and match 02 sensors will cause issues . PS I had the opportunity to have spoken to the head engineer from Magna Flow about this very issue. But I really do enjoy your videos and emails . I very much appreciate your knowledge.

    Hello sir
    They did this test on mine and the air pressure gauge didn't move at all as he stepped on the gas he said the air is going through as it should is this true ? The pressure gauge didn't move at all when he hit the gas he said if it was backed up the guage would move

    Beware diagnostics from a parts store. There's a conflict of interest. Before doing something as expensive as replacing a cat, test thoroughly to rule out other causes and try running a cat cleaner (e.g., Cataclean). A cleaner cleared my P0420 2 years ago and it hasn't come back. That sure beat a new catalytic converter.

    My 2009 Ford F150 doesn’t have any check engine lights but it does seem to lack some power. Could it be this?

    Most likely if it's a used vehicle sluggish... If it's a new vehicle most likely sluggish...

    Or maybe it's a way to pry.... You know way to pry money out of people cash a payoff... Maybe even a fish 😊 but I can assure you that those vehicles with her old or new are not sluggish 🙂 how do I know I'm a client of the used car bowers 🙂 but it's not my vehicle I've been lucky I haven't had to buy one. But if I ever do I'll be good and sure to let you know 🙂
