    How on earth did you get those bolts out from the flex pipe without dropping the crossmember? I’ve been struggling for HOURS to get the crossmember down so I can have hand room to get to the bolts on that flex pipe (which are hella rusted😣) I’ve connected many extension bars to try and move along the pipe but it’s not working.

    • @danram247
      @danram247 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's what I was thinking... because they won't ship it to you if you live in California or it will say non CARB compliant for CA. And if you live in a state that doesn't have strict smog restrictions the catalytic converter is still cheap if you buy it at the Hyundai Dealership like $300 compared to California which would be over $2,000

Two days later engine light turns on and the m echanics at the dealership said catalytic converter needs to be replaced again. Used cataclean and engine light turned off for 3 days but turned back on. It runs fine and all just don't know. Need help on what I should do

  • @danram247
    @danram247 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Is that car from California? Or NY? Because Dealer Catalytic converters are usually that expensive in those states because of strict smog regulations. Other states even if you get it from the Dealership it's way cheaper...

      do an engine oil flush if you havent already, clean your intake valves and fuel injectors (the GDi engines intakes get clogged with carbon from the combustion proccess) your car will run smoother at lower rpms which will in turn slow the oil consumption. never underestimate the power of frequent oil changes along with preventive maintenance

    Is that catalytic converter good for California?

    On the heat shield, where the O2 is, I cut a slit so if I have to replace it again, I don't have to take the shield off.

    Is your cat converter still holong up ?

  • @uberkill160

    I also have a 2014 Hyundai Accent putting up the P0420 fault code. The mechanic told me that, because the catalytic converter is CARB (California) compliant, the internal computer won't allow a non CARB compliant converter to be installed, and is wanting to charge me $3000 to replace it. Is there any truth to this?

    • @Gasdieselgarage

      Well unfortunately California has SMOG compliance tests every year if I’m not mistaken. Technically I don’t believe it would make a difference but passing the smog tests I can’t be 100% sure on that. Now for your question….the converter it’s self should not make any difference on what the cars computer is reading…I call BS on that 3000 dollars to replace…..the only difference between a California compliant cat and a regular cat is that they are made differently. But shouldn’t mess you cars ecu up.

    What would cause the manifold to get red hot. 2020 elantra 2.0

    • @Gasdieselgarage
      @Gasdieselgarage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The catalytic converter is just likely clogged because so much Unburned fuel is dumping into the manifold/CAT basically causing a fire inside the manifold.

      @Gasdieselgarage what would cause this, and any advice on a fix. Not one code. No CEL. Dealership says cats not under warranty.
      But recall on piston rings. I was thinking burning oil clogging it... just noticed first time last week after smelling a burn smell after long hwy drive

      @@RedCapMusik well if you do have a piston ring problem then yes most likely you are getting unwanted oil and fuel blow bye into your exhaust…I can see the manifold getting hot with that scenario. Sorry to hear that….if you are able I’d pull the spark plugs out and look at their condition….if they look like charcoal then you really do have a problem

      @Gasdieselgarage I was actually topping it up when I had a Fram oil filter. Shop put on. I changed it and since have had no issues as far as losing oil.
      I pulled the plugs last week. They didn't look to to bad. A little black but no soaked. It was after this I noticed the manifold being red hot. Not sure if that could have caused it or just that I happened to catch the glowing after I did this
      Was considering replacing with new ones as I feel maybe spark not strong enough thus allowing unburnt fuel into exhaust. They (Dealer) say the stock plugs are good to 100k. But I doubt that.

    I replaced my catalytic converter, both o2 sensors, pcv valve, spark plugs, and coil packs at the same time. In 3 weeks the code came back. Any ideas?

    • @Gasdieselgarage
      @Gasdieselgarage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Fuel pressure regulator may be acting up…dumping more fuel through the exhaust causing codes and also leaking injectors but that’s hard to diag unless you bench test the injectors not on the engine….you may be running into a “running rich” issue but you won’t notice unless you have a computer to read the o2 sensor output or smell strong fuel odors.

    I know this is old but why didn't you put in a new o2 sensor as well.

    • @Gasdieselgarage
      @Gasdieselgarage  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The customer had already put one in previously thinking it was only a sensor problem unfortunately it wasn’t…I would always recommend replacing a with a new sensor regardless. I know probably should have mentioned that
