Amazing video this actually works. I have been having problems with my catalytic converter for the last year tried cat clean and only worked for a few months then came back on again the engine light after doing much research I found this channel and tried what you did and it has worked, thank you so much.
I had a PO420 bank one code. I went ahead and replaced my cat and two sensors after not being convinced anything can clean them after a lot of research. . This may work but It would be a mess for me to take my upper Cat off, myself. The man at Midas had 26 years experience. I let him do it. I ordered the OEM parts and Midas installed it. Cost about 1,500 dollars parts and labor total. What I didn't expect is, it greatly improved my gas mileage. It went from 17 to 23-24 mi a gal. I double checked it.
$1500 is robbery. I ordered an OEM grade catalytic converter and had had a muffler shop weld it on for $100. It came out to $300-350 total and lasted 7 years.
@@aznnp77 There's no way i could find an OEM Toyota cat for less than 849.00 I then bought the sensors, manifold gasket and bolts. for about 260. They originally were going to charge me only 400 labor but the manifold bolts took a lot of time to get out. I'm happy. I know I got the best deal I could possibly get. These guys that worked on it were top notch and had years of experience.
@@jackempson3044 Yeah, an OEM cat was like $1300 for my car, but $300 for 7 years is pretty good. You gonna keep your car 7 more years? My car is 23 years old. Next time, which is now, I'm just gonna do an O2 sensor spacer for $6.
@@MikeKollin I thought he said carpet cleaner too. But then in comments someone mentioned carb cleaner. I hope he will clarify.

You want to reverse flush. Too much exhaust pressure can blow seals and gaskets on the engine. Taking the converter off and using a dishwasher tablet in a bucket of hot water overnight is enough. Reverse flush with water quite well, dry it out on a hot day or with a hair dryer, reinstall and you're done.
THE HECK SERIOUSLY!? Damn near $3k for that!? That’s insane. See I learned how to change a tire, breaks, do the oil, change the fuse under the hood, and the filter. The one in the glove box. Took some digging but hey! However, I need to learn how to do this.
Guys, I have a 2010 Nissan Sentra with over 220,000 miles on it. During the last 13 years, I have gotten catalytic underperforming codes 3 times. This is how I deal with them. With the engine cold, I pour Dawn detergent down a garden house. I then stick the hose as far as it will go into the tailpipe. I then seal, as much as possible, the tailpipe and garden house with plastic bags. I then turn on the house and fill the exhaust system with water and Dawn, making sure that the water does not reach the exhaust manifold but gets past the catalytic converter. I then let the soapy water sit in the exhaust system for 10 minutes. If the water has drained out via the tailpipe or leak in the exhaust system, I again add water until is is just past the catalytic converter and I immediately start the engine. The engine's exhaust will forcefully blow the soapy water out of the exhaust system and clean the catalytic converter. Let the engine run for 20 minutes, or go for a ride, and that's it, problem solved.
@@nickgc1234 no, it all evaporates when you run the engine. By the way, when you start your engine every morning, you will see water dripping out of the exhaust because moisture inside the exhaust is normal

A mechanic will never recommend cleaning a catalytic converter. It not a standard practice. This is strictly DIY only. Also, if it's already clogged or damaged, the only solution is replacement.
No. If you drive it after, the heat will evaporate it all out before it has a chance to react with the metal. If you do this and let it sit for weeks, then possibly.
Combustion of fuel produces water, so your exhaust is constantly exposed to moisture. This is why you see your exhaust when it is cold, that is water vapor.
Did you remove upstream and downstream o2 sensor, or just upstream, I am assuming just upper because exhaust from tail pipe. Does this not make rear o2 sensor contaminated, or is this the one you are cleaning after? I want to do this but don't want to mess up my o2 sensors. Thanks.
Just upper one, only, no most of the times only upper on gets contaminate, because the engine having some kind of uneven burning and i didnt had any problem with the sensor after that
what do you call the compressed air instrument you use to inject the cleaning liquid into the catalytic converter and where to find it and inject the cleaning liquid into the lower port of the catalytic converter

would the pressurized soapy solution work its way through an open exhaust valve and wash all the oil off or hydrolock a cylinder?
No, it would drain down the exhaust pipe.

Hello, can a catalytic converter cleaner be applied the same way? From the upstream o2 sensor?
Yes, you can use same way
