I used it on my wifes 2016 Nissan sentra SV. And i has a bad catalyc converter. And i had a code. I was worried of buying a new cat but this Liquid came through. I bought them on Amazon. I got 2 for 45 dollars ish. I only used one and i clear the codes and drove it. And it never came back. Hallelujah. Worth the try. We saved alot of money.

I've used cataclean on my Mercedes over a year ago and it worked. I confirmed the cat was bad by pressure testing and by temperature. The front of cat was 650 degrees and rear was 325 at running temp. I really didn't follow the instructions I did my own thing for best results. Here are the steps I did. Make sure engine is fully heat soaked not just at running temp according to water temp. I added product to 3 gallons of gas. For 5 minutes I drive with rpms at 3750 in low gear at slow speeds. I then drove 10 to 15 minutes on highway like roads. Followed by another 5 minutes of slow speeds in low gear with rpms around 3500. For a minute I brought it up 4,000 rpm. I got gas as directed but parked car and let product heat soak for 12 hours. After that just drive car normally and hope for the best. I used this over a year ago in my car and still haven't had to replace catalytic converter. I've also used this product in 21 different cars with it having success in 16 of them. The time frame on how long it will last does vary. Some cars it has been 2 years and still going strong. Others it only lasted 2 months.. Just so everyone knows this product will not help a cat that is broken or fully clogged. It will only help if your cat is just starting to go or is only partially clogged. Even then there is no guarantee that it will work for your. As a last resort it's worth trying.

Rattling means something is loose or broken. The rattle can be a heat shield or broken hardware, I would check that out first. If it's not that then most likely the honey comb came apart or is just starting. It will not work for that at all.

One thing that most people are not really aware of...the Cat clogs up when your engine uses oil. Most people on here regularly change their oil, but most do NOT change their PCV valve. If this valve fails, your engine may well be sucking up oil into the intake. If you have to clean your Cat, change your PCV valve. It's Cheap, and it just might prevent it from doing it again.

@Justbetru 3 ай бұрын

That’s great you got your check engine light to turn off. But if you want to fix your car in the long run you are still probably going to need to figure out what is causing your catalytic converter to get clogged. That is going to require someone doing a diagnosis on it. Otherwise you will have to keep using cata clean every time it gets clogged and the light comes back on.

@jml5100 17 сағат бұрын

The place I bring my car told me I needed the cat changed. Based on my mileage, it probably wouldn't be a bad plan. They didn't tell me I could use this stuff, but when I later asked them about it they told me all about it. They said they can't guarantee it will work so they don't use it. That sounds reasonable. I would be much less likely to use them if, after I asked them about it, they just tried to downplay it but then it worked.

On a long holiday trip, check engine light came on and used my OBD testing module I had along for the trip. Drove another 150 miles to help drain the gas tank to about 4 gallons including reserve after buying this product. As it turned out I had O2 sensor error codes for sensor below cat converter; and followed directions on this product exactly. It worked. Code was cleared and has not come back yet. Check engine light finally 'off'.

"upstream sensor bouncing up and down normally" only applies if it is a narrow band (same as the downstream which is always narrow band.) ECU adds and subtracts fuel slightly every 1 sec or so to make sure sensor can catch that in order to keep fuel trim within range. Nowadays they use fuel ratio sensor (wideband) for upstream and watching the current, thus no more up and down.

this stuff does work well, it will raise exhaust temps way high, like 1200 degrees and burn all the carbon and deposits from your converter so the plates can contact the exhaust again, just do not do it on a turbocharged engine, it will cook the oil on the turbo shaft and lock it up

@jimsix9929 3 күн бұрын

when the pcm does the test for the cat it will tell the injectors to richen fuel for a time so you have hydrocarbons and co for the cat to burn, it looks for less oxygen on the rear sensor as compared to the front sensor, this proves that the cat is burning it

Was it a slip of the tongue when you said that a bad cat can cause random misfire codes? I sure hope so...

@PhillipsVision 9 ай бұрын

No, it was not a slip. A bad catalytic converter can definitely cause a random misfire due to it being clogged. When a catalytic converter is clogged it can cause gas to ignite in the engine leading to a misfire. Obviously not all misfires are due to a catalytic converter, but they can contribute to it if they are malfunctioning.
