    Got a P0430 code on my 2008 Jeep Wrangler. Added 1 bottle of Cataclean to 1/4 tank of gas cleared the code and drove for around 50 miles miles. The CEL and 0430 code returned. I ran the jeep to get the gas down to1/8 of a tank, added a second bottle of Cataclean and cleared code with scanner and check engine light is out. Been out for over 200 miles. During the cleaning process, I also drove at Highway speed and made sure I hit the gas a couple of times to get the RPMs high as I drove. The Jeep passed inspection and I also noticed increased gas mileage!!! Stuff Works!!!! Thanks for the outstanding video!

      Hey I’m curious, did the problem pop up again? Sounds like it works in many experiences but others suggests it’s only a temporary fix and in the end you’re still going to get another check engine light in the future. What was your experience?

      So I had an issue with my ford fiesta zetec 1.6,​ it was the egr valve and it pushed it into limp mode. Long story short. Garage tried to scam me by saying it needed replacing at a whopping cost.
      So I left it. I waited and returned to same garage. Ironically they forgot about me from the previous time.
      This time they said oh it only needs cleaning at significantly lower cost.. They used the all in 1 version of this. Cleared the codes. And it never returned. And for the next 2yrs. I never had this issue again. And then I sold the car on. With a clean bill of health.
      This time my newer car, has a problem with the particulate matter sensor. Which is near the dpf essentially they help each other regulate the fuel and exhaust systems (including the egr valve). With a yellow engine light.
      Same garage for a laugh quoted me over 500 for a fix, because and I quote 'it's awkward to get to'.
      I'm obviously not going to use them, and will get a second opinion. And a bottle of this and run my car down. Then add, I hope after that the engine light will go. And stay off.
      I hope this helps. Because cleaners do seem to work.
      And I'm a nobody, who is literally learning how to fix his car bit by bit by himself, so I don't get shafted money wise.

Last time I had to pay the special smog ($200) to get it to pass but I wanted to try and see if I'd pass this time. I was super close but off by less than 1% with how many PPM's I was emitting. I'll see if I remember to check back in after I smog it again. No CEL's or any codes before either.

    This stuff does work. But you have to use it as it says. The 1/4 tank part and driving afterwards is very important. 1 part they dont mention is that it helps to drive the vehicle with more of a lead foot then normal. Dont drive it like its the last lap at of the 500 but get the rpms up which will in turn heat up the system and force the crap out of cats and exhaust aswell as increase the injector latency and duty cycle. This stuff, seafoam and crc maf cleaner are 3 of the best products on the market for people to save hundreds if not thousands on stuff that can be done at home in 30 min

When it does go in limp mode, it dont cut off, but it will get down to about 20 mph.

    Update: So I tried it and it really worked! At least for long enough for the car to pass emissions and be registered. Then after 200 miles the same check engine light with code P0420 came back on. So I have to say the fact it went 200 miles before coming back on was very impressive and makes me think it helped clean it a bit because in past it would come on after 40-50 miles . This 2003 corolla has over 250k miles so im sure theres a lot of carbon caked on in there! Im gonna run another treatment of it through and we are going to run one bottle a year in our toyota van also as preventative maintenance in hopes it prevents us from ever having the same issue. So while i was skeptical at first,, In the end im quite impressed and for 27 dollars it was definitely worth trying it and Id recommend it. In addition the car accelerates better too so it ay have also cleaned the fuel injectors. And hopefully with a few more treatments enough carbon will be cleaned out of the cat and the issue goes away.

    if the vehicle does not have mobility for whatever reason, instead of driving it for 20 minutes to blow out impurities, can you rev it to 3500 rpm for 20-30 minutes? is there a specific reason to be at quarter tank upon dilution? If it is at half tank, what if someone added 2 bottles instead of one of cataclean? (questions viewers might have for certain situations)

    Used a similar product from NAPA in 2021 when my 2013 Ford Focus @ 70K miles threw a P0420, the dealership cleared the code for me and told me it was the cat. Dumped an entire bottle in my tank and it never threw the error again until I traded it 40K miles later. Did it work? Seemed to have.

    I was on vacation in miami over Christmas when I got the code P0420 on my 2015 crystler town and country. I knew this could be an expensive fix, then I came across this video. I followed the instructions and after I refilled the tank the check engine light went away. The van wasn't having any symptoms so I decided, maybe stypidly, to drive over 1100 miles back home in Maryland. I made it without problem thanks to this video. Now if I have problems, atleast I'm near my mechanic. Thanks!

      There are now sooo many to choose from. Brands like TopDon, Autel, Launch, Innova, etc., are all safe choices. If you don't need ECU coding and/or programming, and don't need a big 8" to 10" screen, I'd consider Innova's 5610. It's bi-directional, has real time graphing, graphing, covers most all manufacturer's, U.S. based real person customer phone support, and best of all, comes with lifetime software subscription! That can save you hundred$ a year. For $300, the 5610's functionality rivals most all tablet models that cost nearly $1k or more. The only (one) downside is the 5610 does not have a topology view. But this isn't a issue of functionality, it's presentation.

    alternately you can run an alcohol air mix straight thru a catalytic converter after dropping the pipe down using a paint sprayer, the platinum in the unit will ignite the mix oxidising the buildup and burning it out
    when the unit gets really hot just beyond normal operating temp let it cool back down and repeat a few times checking results with a 20usd endoscope, after a few cycles and checking blast compressed air thru the unit to knock cinders loose

    A friend suspects it's just because the sensor is no longer connected but I did also notice a decent change in gas mileage recently since the light came on that wasn't there when I had them removed over a year ago.

      It will not go past 4000 RPMs I just changed one of my oxygen O2 center and it’s still doing the same thing. It’s like I got a lot of hesitation when I give it gas like putters my check engine light flashes so you telling me this stuff will work good.

    My wife car has a catalytic converters problem and i do used many products to clean it out, it disappears ( engine light with code Po420) for around a week and come back so many times. I almost give up and think about take the cat out to clean it. But before that i see the video talk about use Lacquerthinner GML 170 and i tried it with half tank of gas ( Prius , around 4 gallons gas) i put completely 1 gallon of lacquer thinner in the tank and drive around until almost completely empty gas tank and filled up another tank , the engine light is gone. It happens u til now around a month, i don’t see the engine light come back .
