Love how meticulous you are when it comes to making sure nothing is being damaged 👍🏼. Had this issue with my HR and the defouler didn’t help 😕 changed my test pipes out to Berk HFCs and the light doesn’t come on (unless it’s raining for some reason)
think the best solution to pass the smog check, using Anthony's method, is by the following procedure; BUT, if you have a bad cat problem initially preventing you from passing smog check, keep in mind people, your catalytic converter will eventually need to be replaced to prevent damage to your engine. This is just a temporary method to try to help pass smog. 1) reset your codes using an obdII 2) remove o2 sensor#2 (Downstream), after cat and clean it while you are at it. 3) install adapter 4) install o2 sensor unto the adapter 5) run your vehicle for 60 miles or more, depending on your vehicle so you can have all onboard monitors ready for smog check & hopefully your check engine light does not appear. 6) the day/time of your smog check inpection, run your vehicle for at least 4 to 6 miles or more for a warm up. 7) remove o2 sensor (wear gloves & work smart as components will be hot) 8) remove adapter(wear gloves & work smart as components will be hot) as they may visually be inspecting undeneath. 9) re-install o2 sensor without adapter. ( wear gloves & work smart as components will be hot) 10) visit your local smog check station & hopefully it will pass without having the adapter during the test/inspection. 11) good luck people! ✌🕶🔧
Chip tuners work and will lean the fuel properly while advancing the timing better than stock programming do not change the upstream sensor its the main one for fuel to air control the downstream is resposible for monitoring the catalytic convertor function and has less to do with air fuel ratio
I have never seen a 02 sensor break loose that easy also if 02 has been on a while that cut out socket will round off the sensor. Your better off with open end wrench. Spray vibrate and work it back and forth most importantly get 02 up to temp first that will help more than spray. Good luck your gonna need it with older cars if you don’t cuss now you will
So if you piggy back 2 defoulers instead of just 1 will it make the oxygen sensor engine check light disappear even better than using 1? Thanks for the video any feedback appreciated
@@AnthonyJ350 i went ahead and installed defouler on 02 sensor downstream, worked like a charm on 06 Nissan frontier CC. Those cats aren't too old maybe about a year, truck runs perfect but wanted light off.

So you cut and paste this on all defoulers videos??
Great, need to do this soon, just have to decide on high flow cats or test pipes 🤔
I run the Motordyne XYZ pipe with a high flow cat and Berk Resonated test pipes. Want the flow but still be environmentally responsible somewhat.

I think a dyno tune is the best way to correct if there's nothing physically wrong with the vehicle.

Yes
hi there.. @7:20 did you say have it dyno tuned? if you dyno tuned it will it prevent the check light without the defouler?
It most cases it will.

You can do the ECU reset. But you should really dyno tune it soon after.

Do the tune, you probably don't need the defouler.
