Hi, my reader on a 2011 Outlander says P0420$07E8 Generic Catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1 Is it something very important that needs attention right away or can I not bother about it that much please? Thanks for the video and info!!
Hi I have a 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer ES I have a code similar to the video. The code tells me that there is something wrong with Sensor 1 bank 3! I replace sensor, still check engine comes on?
EBay sells catalytic converters for cheap and sensors as well most mechanics will double the price on the catalytic converter and sensors better to shop around on the internet
Yea u will b replacing that ebay cat sooner than later my friend can’t cheap on the cats...cats supposed to last more than 10 yrs yours will b having issues in less than 5
I've read somewhere on google that 90% of guys with older cars are buying the After-Market cat converters. Depending how many miles per day you drive. If it's 10- 15 miles per day, it could last 5 years max.
Cataylic converters are expensive because the materials that make them are very expensive palladium rhodium and titanium, If you are getting a $100 cat its doesnt actually have catalyst (the metals mentioned above) and therefore not coverting anything. You will get away with it because you dont actually need a cat to run your car it only improves the emissions of your car.
I have a 2012 Lancer GT, and while I don’t have a code or need to replace the O2 sensor or cat, the heat shield cover that goes on/around the cat is loose - this is causing a rattling/squeaking while idle. I can move I’m the cover freely. I noticed this cat cover has a worm gear hose clamp - do you know if this was done to stop any rattling/vibration? I put a hose clamp on mine, but it just goes around the cat cover and doesn’t fasten it to anything to prevent the vibrations. Can you help?
So, how do you FIX the problem, i.e., how you do replace the catalytic converter? I appreciate that you pointed out it's location as well as the sensors. That part is helpful and maybe with that information I can go ahead and attempt it myself.
Tengo un gts 2010, subiendo cuestas se pone super vago, algunas veces hace por casi detenerse y de momento coge otro cambio y sube. Por tiempos a cogido de prender el check engine dos días, con escanner sale convertidor de catalítico y después apaga la luz de check engine. 🤷 Además si me estaciono en una leve subidita, tiembla el auto. Y cuando voy a mover la palanca de los cambios, el seguro no suelta fácil 😤
I have 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer DE. How many oxygen sensors does my Mitsubishi have? 2 or 3? I searched everywhere to check how many oxygen sensors my car has but it just talks about different types of models of Mitsubishi cars
Unfortunately if there is no catalytic converter the check engine light will stay on even if you clear the codes from the computer, it will come back. Will have to live with it. Or install a new cat
Notoriously, and thesis going to be laughable to everyone, this isn't a CAT issue, its a sensor issue and a fuel cap issue. All of the models since the Lancer was introduced in the US market have had this same problem. No one knows why. Likely sensors and caps are faulty from the factory, and no one bothered to do anything about it at the factory level; cost was greater than having them fail on the owner side.
I'm with you on this, i have p0420 and straight away I thought "oh the sensor is probably stuffed" If you have this issue change your SENSORS first it will be a lot cheaper. If you cat is actually stuffed(unlikely) you might as well just leave it because its going to expensive, unless youre a full eco warrior then feel free to spend thousands to clean up the exhaust fumes a little bit
The P0171 code means that, on the first bank of the engine, the fuel system is running weak or a vacuum leak exists near this side of the engine. A lean condition occurs when the engine either receives too little fuel or too much air.
@@psautomotive5530 I know about the lean status but that is because I need to get a tune for a new air intake I installed on New Years. The bank is the one I need to know about.
Lol don’t listen to this man if u love ya car those ebay cats will destroy ya engine and fail sooner than later $600-$1000 is more like it depends on if it’s prime or secondary cat
I just had my slow down light warning on my 2008 lancer. Took it to a mechanic and he didn't found any issues. But the scanner marked catalytic converter error. I feel the car is lacking power and make a funny vacuum cleaner noise. Can I try a cleaner first?
Andy Alfonso I had the same problem going to Phx from NM I took it to AAmco and they cleaned out my transmission oil your car is burning up the oil instead of cycling it I just got it done today and runs really smooth now
Andy Alfonso I recently got an exhaust for my 2008 lancer and I was also told I need the catalytic converter cause my engine light came up but when the slow down light came up it had to do with the transmission fluid I was told it wasn’t flowing that it was just burning up but I got mine done today and it’s running very smooth now got power back on and my exhaust sounds much better n not rattling
Hello, I have that code in a 2006 lancer es. Do I replace the manifold integrated catalytic or the second under the car or o2 sensors? I've clean the catalytic with cataclean, all monitors is complete even the catalytic is ready but the code comes back on. Thanks in advance
hello i have a probleme with my car mitsubishi lancer 2009 manuel 2.4 engine probleme with acceleration i have light check engine whats say probleme with system egr and sond lambda so when i run the car it drive really weel but after using it for like 30 mn ahead without stop the acceleration get slow and slow even that i push the gaz but no power its like something i feel in the engine getting down dont let the horsepower get out am so confuse a already changer the egr system but the probleme not solved wondering if the sond lambda its the reaon for that probleme please help thanks a lot
Is going to be your cat converter. Before you go ahead and replace your cat. There are different options that you could try. There are cat conv cleaning additives that you could pour in the gas tank to make it more efficient. Is worth trying. Let me know if it worked
I have a 2010 Mitsubishi lancer GTS. I need to replace the converter and long pipe. The whole things basically. Do I need to replace anything else?

Does the catalytic converter and the o2 sensors need replaced or just the catalytic converter?
Just the cat

Yeah replace the cat.

Will a cat cleaner help
A question 🙋🏻♂️
We have to replace de converter and sensors or only the converter

What do you mean by cat delete?
Catalytic converters have to work properly there is no way around

Nah bro replace the sensors first if that doesn't work then do the cat
Can this fix be done at home?
Yes

@KevinAndFriends. sadly no. It was my daily driver and I ended up hydroplaning off the road into a tree while delivering pizza.
Is there any way to clean it or fix it without replacing the whole cat? And also what is cost of a new cat? Thanks
Its a wrap once u get that code cat needs to be replaced cost can be from $600-$1000 dont get ebay
Thank D!

How much could cost to replace a Cat? Thanks
