Hi angle my name is Carlos I’ll been a mechanic for 15 it’s I went to school for automotive I like it set up in your house I want to wish you more success your videos are the best keep up the good work
Just would like to say love watching you repair cars because it gives me more insight on how to get the job done. As a mechanic who loves to do side work and support my family I appreciate all u do. I like the way you bring your kids into your work area I did the same when. They were small. 🤙👍👍🤜
1996 Taco with the 2rz-fe. Researched to try and diagnose idle vibration. Mine has an automatic gearbox and would begin to vibrate excessively when at optimal temperature in drive. Park and neutral were slightly better but the problem would stop as long as it was moving. Disconcerning amount of time on Tacoma World later I read a list of common issues with Gen 1's and decided to remove the heat shield. Exact same fracture in the same place! Finally found the problem AND a great video that shows how to fix it. Thank you so much, really appreciate the content.
Them 2rz and 3rz are notorious for cracked exhaust manifolds i replaced mine with a Lcengineering longtube header fit like a glove and made a world of difference in power at low end
You weld like I do. Never move to Pittsburgh man, every bolt would’ve snapped or rounded haha. Nice vid just watching them for relaxation at this point.
I got a 2001 Tacoma with the same code. I’m pretty sure mine is going through the same thing. I got a leak somewhere and that code haunts me. If you are located in Nevada I would definitely pay you to work on my truck lol. Probably cheaper than these ppl here that can’t diagnose my truck properly. Great video. Keep it up. Gives my truck hope!
I have the same code in a 2006 Malibu, also in Nevada, and I need to fix it because I don't meet the exemption requirements...did you find out what was wrong with yours? thanks
I have a 04 Sienna with the same problem...but it has warm-up cats as parts of the manifolds. IOW, it has three cats. Makes for an expensive repair! Good vid...don't need mindless chatter to get the point across.
enjoy your videos even tho i dont do my own repairs anymore (getting to old for that stuff) guess you dont live in a HOA sub since you always working in your driveway LOL
you should call yourself the 'one armed mechanic' hahah incredible! thanks for sharing FIA, disappointed to see that cracked manifold, I have a 2000 Echo with 307k and have only replaced the water pump and front wheel bearings so far (that was a real pain) .. but its time for some Cat action soon.. so im digging for best methods.. love your work its a big help to many im sure.. Blessings to you and yours !!!
Jimmy Favereau lol thank you Jimmy!! I appreciate the comment. 307k miles!! Wow!! It’s true, you take care of your and it can last. Good for you. I try to show all my repairs so all can learn. God bless you
Dude I watched almost all your videos and you have taught me to understand the vehicle and it’s systems and you don’t say a freakin word Angel si yu’us ma’asi from Saipan
Ay q ser realistas este hombre es un jenio se Las sabe todas digamos en pocas palabras como q si.el mismo ubiese echo todo esos carros save muy perfectamente donde se encuentra el problema lo felisito esto q el ase le ayuda a muchos mecanicos q estan aprendiendo este trabajo q no es nada fasil para muchos fesidades
If you round a bolt you can always TRY to put a smaller socket on it with a hammer(preferably 12pt) and take an impact to it. Sometimes that will be just enough to get it loose. On the manifold I understand the “want to” and reasoning in repairing it, but dollars to donuts that thing will crack again in another spot. If you can afford it I always say buy a new one or hit the junkyard for one.
I had both Catalytic Converters (OEM CARB complaint) replaced on my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder in 2015. The check engine light recently turned on (P0420 Bank 1). It turns off by itself at times, but then a few days later it returns. Cant be a gas cap and I dont think its bad fuel (I stick to Chevron, Shell, 76, Mobil, etc).
kudos on saving a lot of money on the universal cat and making it fit...Just wondering though, wouldn't it have been better to fix the exhaust leak first? Just thinking the exhaust leak could throw the 02 sensors off therefore throwing a false 420 code..MIGHT not have needed a cat yet. 9 times out of 10 a 420 code does result in the cat being bad, but usually there isn't an exhaust leak that big. It'd be awesome to know if sealing that leak alone would have taken care of the 420 code
+Pyro17059 Thank you. Yes you could be right. I should have shown how much material was coming out of the old cat, so I think it was already bad. Thank you for your comment.
+T. Curran when I say fix the leak, I mean replace the manifold...not try to put some duct tape on it. You need to replace these. Don't waste time trying to mend it.
Texas Pipeliner hi, my friend uncle has it now since he moved to Singapore 2 years ago. The Uncle has my # and i haven't heard from him since. So I guess it is still ok. Thank you for the comment. Have a nice day.
Since you're listing what size sockets your using, have you considered using swivel sockets? Yeah, I know they're expensive. However, they'll make tackling this job that much easier. You can get them in either impact or chrome.
Gotta ask! What did you charge for all that work you done? I also do some automotive work here in my home garage, but I don't have all the great tools you do. Keep up the great work and very nice videos.
interesting to see how long the weld will last on the cast iron manifold ? at 250 if it last another 50K that's all you need =) (? best to drill a hole to stop the crack and then blazing it instead of welding it? )
OMG, you literally cleaned and polished every single thing between the hood and the floor beforehand...! It looks like it was never driven, but it wouldn't even have that problem if it had never been driven, right? Idk, but I love cars and working on them which is really a lot more fun when you have the exact flex ratchet, SMH, and what kind of asshole still rounds a bolt with all that??? hahhaha KIDDING A wonderful video, wonderully done, thanks very much, I loved it :) It was helpful too
when you get to the point where you cant remove the manifold that's where you're suppose to start cussing like a sailor and open up another beer - works for me
very well made video ! Jimmy diresta style ! looks like a fairly simple job to do except for a couple of annoying fasteners . I like straight forward jobs like this
Aloha brada I get the same problem too on my Tacoma haha; I found a loop hole for Nevada smog lol, some smog places will pass you if you have no check engine light and one not ready check... once I have to do my smog I reset my system and drive till all my ready checks is good except for one which is the catalytic...then I drive to the smog test right away to get my smog lol ...but kudos to u bruh! I might need to do what u did ... the exhaust leak is getting irraz lol
Nice job. This is what we do in our cenre for getting red of check engine light. Have you ever heard about programming ECM for USA FJ Cruiser to change the vehicle specs. It is like changing CAT configurations so that we tell the vehicle not to cosider trouble codes those come because of CAT issues.
I recently had my catalytic converter stolen. Bought a new Cat, had it installed at muffler shop. Before theft NO O2 codes, After replacement of Cat, I had the shop haet paint the Cat and mark the VIN # on it. After driving the truck home(2004 Tacoma 2.7L), started getting P0420 Code when engine light came on? The new Cat had to be welded in place because flanges were gone. The O2 sensor 'rear', was not changed nor damaged during theft-Can you guess what might be causing code?? I am taking it to my mechanic because my Code Reader is a cheapy, and mechanic has the expensive full blown analizer. Could my mechanic find whether or not the code is from a bad weld-if the O2 sensors are good? THanks for you video.
I have the same code, exaust leak, and Probably have a cracked manifold as well. Can i have problems driving like this if i replace the cat with a pipe. We dont have emission tests here. Nice videos. New subscriber :-)
Did you now something Here, cast Iron must Bee heathing up before welding and can been welded with basic sticks, smal weld of 2 cm at the time and Nock litle after you are finish put the part in sand too next day.
escape you can also use you’re scan tool and graph the upstream and downstream 02 on that bank and if they copy each other then you know the cat is bad
A little explanation would be nice... However it is a good video tho, I had the same problem with mine but I replace the exhaust manifold for a Stainless steel header Instead, better than that cast iron junk... Oh and I will avoid all that work getting the Cat. with the flanges on already, the price are the same...
Hi Angel thanks for your videos the way I like, straight to the point and show a lot the details for the repair make more understandable , I have a questions a have a 2001 Mazda MPV DX and I got a P0421 code and according to my manual its the warm-up three way catalytic converter behind the engine on the firewall , but there's another catalytic converter under the vehicle so what should I do ? change the one on the engine or the one vehicle or is there any way I can test the one on the engine ? thank you Angel for your help and please keep the videos coming I'm learning a lot from you man. Peace !!!
lyon65 hi, thank you for watching my videos. When was the last time you replace your spark plugs? If spark plugs is fooled up. It could cause that code to come up because the fuel isn’t burning completely. It can be too much fuel burning in the car. To know for sure which is bad cat. You need to go and get it diagnosed at a dealer or at a good shop. The have the scan tool to read the temperature of the catalytic if it working correctly.
Hi Angel thanks for your reply ; I got this van from my sister in law because she did not want o deal whit fixing the minivan, so she gave to my wife so I can fix it. all begun when the van start failing and my sister in law have a mechanic perform a tune up, he change spark plugs, coil pack, cables , etc. but still having a rough idle so I checked the cable between the coil pack and the spark plug and it was not having spark on 2 cylinders, so I send the computer to test and they find a coil burn inside. so they fixed it and after installed it again on the minivan it runs great now, but the funny thing I got the code but no light on my dashboard, scanner show all monitors ready except for the catalytic and also I heard a little boom boom noise between the manifold and the air filter make me thinks gases trying to escape trough the air filter since they can't do it trough the cat on the engine. I tried the the temperature and both are very similar on the cat under the vehicle but since they are 2 cat I'm not sure which one to change. and I really need to fix this to pass smog check and get the sticker its been 3 months trying to fix it I'll appreciate your help if you guide me to do it.
lyon65 I think the catalytic is bad from the misfire cylinders. Catalytics are very expensive. To try to pass smog. You can try this. It worked for me. Watch this video I did on a Corolla to pass smog. th-cam.com/video/_hJSeuMmhPI/w-d-xo.html
Hi Angel just to let you know the bom bom bom noise coming from the air filter its caused by the IAC valve, I saw a video about it and I'm going to change it so hopefully its just the cat problem pending now .Thank you, you are man!!!!
I got a 2000 Toyota 4runner 3.4 the motor is hiccuping sounds like it wants to die but dont I've cleaned the throttle body replaced maf sensor no codes are popping up on scan tool any ideas
This was a very good video...Surely you're a pro mechanic, right? I wonder if you preheated the manifold before welding it? A lot of times cast iron will crack if welded cold...
+Clete88 Sorry no I'm not a pro. Really I didn't know I had to preheat cast iron manifold, now I know. It was a first time thing so next time I will throw it in my bbq pit. Thank you for pointing that out.
+Fix It Angel That would work....you want to preheat the iron part, then do your weld, or brazing....then insulate the hot part with blankets so that it cools gradually....otherwise, you will get stresses and the problem will return, even if you're lucky enough to pull it off otherwise.. Brazing is the best choice in this case, using nickel/bronze on a preheated iron part....But you pulled it off....Good job.
If that's California then you had better be sure that that aftermarket converter has the proper EO number stamped on it because if not one day you're going to come across an inspection tech who checks the numbers and it wont matter how well it works you will fail.

Sammy Garcia welcome brother, I appreciate the comment. We need to help each other and learn. God bless
wow. 250k on that truck and the bolts came loose with no issues. It must be good living in areas where there is no snow, salt and rust. Great video!
Bekim Krasniqi must be loosened the bolts before filming. U know, both hands matter
Those first two 12mm bolts are rounded over on mine. Talk about disappointing. Hardly got started.
Good job man glad to see that there are still real mechanics out there
Long life to you my friend you are a real mechanic the best thanks my good friend for this great video.
This guy is like the Kobe of fixing cars.... The mamba of fixing cars. This man is a great teacher n mechanic
LOL The engine's the cobra, and he is the flute!
Man, thanks for the the throwback… I started mechanical work because of my Tacoma… I eventually turbocharged mine
Great vid. Straight to the point. No jibber jabber.

I just realized... YOU'RE DOING ALL THIS WITH ONE HAND... Nice...
There is a lot to learn in each of your videos. You are a good person. You share your experience with us.
Them 2rz and 3rz are notorious for cracked exhaust manifolds i replaced mine with a Lcengineering longtube header fit like a glove and made a world of difference in power at low end
You weld like I do.
Never move to Pittsburgh man, every bolt would’ve snapped or rounded haha. Nice vid just watching them for relaxation at this point.
Wow. One hand holds the camera and te other taking to manifold off the car. That’s epic.
Good job good bless you son and all you family
you are the best .. thanks for helping begginers like me. wish u the best
+Nasser Enad Thank you!! I try to make videos for all who would like to work on their cars and save some money. Please share and subscribe.

>250K miles and the engine looks nice and clean. Nice video!
Now this is the definition engineering. Mad respect.
this guy has the tools and knows what to do !
Bro you are very hard working and know how to rectify problem and to repair professionally.
REAL MECHANIC FOR REAL!👏👏

Thanks for the video. It really took the 'guess-work' out of the disassembly.
Dude I watched almost all your videos and you have taught me to understand the vehicle and it’s systems and you don’t say a freakin word Angel si yu’us ma’asi from Saipan
You and your son rock my mind ❤
Boy that was a lot of work .
yes it was
Thanks for the video! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that has to "customize" parts hah! Nice work :)
No words. Just direct to the problem. I like this new mechanic version.
Doing that one handed is incredible I have trouble doing it with two hands
Ay q ser realistas este hombre es un jenio se Las sabe todas digamos en pocas palabras como q si.el mismo ubiese echo todo esos carros save muy perfectamente donde se encuentra el problema lo felisito esto q el ase le ayuda a muchos mecanicos q estan aprendiendo este trabajo q no es nada fasil para muchos fesidades
Angel, you are a true angel and life saver! Thank you!
Amazing work! The only part I could not do is the welding. I need to learn how to do that! I would have bought new parts and cost me way more.
If you round a bolt you can always TRY to put a smaller socket on it with a hammer(preferably 12pt) and take an impact to it. Sometimes that will be just enough to get it loose.
On the manifold I understand the “want to” and reasoning in repairing it, but dollars to donuts that thing will crack again in another spot. If you can afford it I always say buy a new one or hit the junkyard for one.
I'm glad we don't have testing no longer in Michigan, what a pain!

+Fix It Angel ohh...well if it was just coming apart inside thats a different story
That's what I doing on my Sienna...fix the leak, then see what codes come up. At least it is wishful thinking.
+T. Curran when I say fix the leak, I mean replace the manifold...not try to put some duct tape on it. You need to replace these. Don't waste time trying to mend it.
Has this repair held up? Repairing a cast component w/o preheat and special welding rods could lead to cracking again. Great vi deo!
Texas Pipeliner hi, my friend uncle has it now since he moved to Singapore 2 years ago. The Uncle has my # and i haven't heard from him since. So I guess it is still ok. Thank you for the comment. Have a nice day.
Esta pesado este compa para la mecanica,tiene de todo
Since you're listing what size sockets your using, have you considered using swivel sockets? Yeah, I know they're expensive. However, they'll make tackling this job that much easier. You can get them in either impact or chrome.
Love watching your videos.. I wish you can be my mechanic for my cars
Maybe I should contact you to fix my check engine light see what is wrong with my car, good job angel
Everything looks good in video, but I can't figure out how you welded the cast iron exhaust manifold. Can someone clarify this for me?
Nop, At least not the way he did it
Nice vid. Wish I had all the toys and knowledge to do the things you did.
Gotta ask! What did you charge for all that work you done? I also do some automotive work here in my home garage, but I don't have all the great tools you do. Keep up the great work and very nice videos.

Excellent as usual.
Keep up the excellent work.
Este es un verdadero " 1"mecanico

Nice repair and your kid was funny.
dope garage set up all the tools for the job !!I wish
Ezos can do bro , u are best best... I for Malaysia
goodjob braddy
Cat doesn't fit -- machine it no problem! :) Love it!
I’m more impressed with the one hand skills lol not an easy maneuver
I have the same code, exaust leak, and Probably have a cracked manifold as well. Can i have problems driving like this if i replace the cat with a pipe. We dont have emission tests here. Nice videos. New subscriber :-)
Wow he's a good tech!!! just subscribed to his channel
Did you now something Here, cast Iron must Bee heathing up before welding and can been welded with basic sticks, smal weld of 2 cm at the time and Nock litle after you are finish put the part in sand too next day.
My question is why you change the cat's if you weld manifold sorry I'm beginner
Worth more than the truck
Yo have alot of great videos can you direct me i have a 2004 chey silverado and im getting a p1035 any ideas
What welding wire is used on exhaust manifold repair? Thanks!
Wow ! Excellent ! Looks like to much for me to attempt.
Exhaust Manifold leak will also give you a P0420. I would have replaced that before changing a cat. You may not have had to replace the cat.
escape was that your experience before?
Yes. Had a leak between the manifold and cat on a Nissan.
escape you can also use you’re scan tool and graph the upstream and downstream 02 on that bank and if they copy each other then you know the cat is bad
A little explanation would be nice... However it is a good video tho, I had the same problem with mine but I replace the exhaust manifold for a Stainless steel header Instead, better than that cast iron junk... Oh and I will avoid all that work getting the Cat. with the flanges on already, the price are the same...
How do I know which catalytic converter to replace when my truck has two? I have a 2002 Toyota prerunner. And the code says bank 1
Thank you
Hi Angel thanks for your videos the way I like, straight to the point and show a lot the details for the repair make more understandable , I have a questions a have a 2001 Mazda MPV DX and I got a P0421 code and according to my manual its the warm-up three way catalytic converter behind the engine on the firewall , but there's another catalytic converter under the vehicle so what should I do ? change the one on the engine or the one vehicle or is there any way I can test the one on the engine ? thank you Angel for your help and please keep the videos coming I'm learning a lot from you man. Peace !!!
lyon65 hi, thank you for watching my videos.
When was the last time you replace your spark plugs?
If spark plugs is fooled up. It could cause that code to come up because the fuel isn’t burning completely. It can be too much fuel burning in the car.
To know for sure which is bad cat. You need to go and get it diagnosed at a dealer or at a good shop. The have the scan tool to read the temperature of the catalytic if it working correctly.
Hi Angel thanks for your reply ; I got this van from my sister in law because she did not want o deal whit fixing the minivan, so she gave to my wife so I can fix it. all begun when the van start failing and my sister in law have a mechanic perform a tune up, he change spark plugs, coil pack, cables , etc. but still having a rough idle so I checked the cable between the coil pack and the spark plug and it was not having spark on 2 cylinders, so I send the computer to test and they find a coil burn inside.
so they fixed it and after installed it again on the minivan it runs great now, but the funny thing I got the code but no light on my dashboard, scanner show all monitors ready except for the catalytic and also I heard a little boom boom noise between the manifold and the air filter make me thinks gases trying to escape trough the air filter since they can't do it trough the cat on the engine. I tried the the temperature and both are very similar on the cat under the vehicle but since they are 2 cat I'm not sure which one to change.
and I really need to fix this to pass smog check and get the sticker its been 3 months trying to fix it I'll appreciate your help if you guide me to do it.
lyon65 I think the catalytic is bad from the misfire cylinders.
Catalytics are very expensive. To try to pass smog.
You can try this. It worked for me. Watch this video I did on a Corolla to pass smog.
th-cam.com/video/_hJSeuMmhPI/w-d-xo.html
thank you angel I'll give a try to pass the smog first, after getting the sticker I will test more thoroughly and I will change the cat if I have to.
Hi Angel just to let you know the bom bom bom noise coming from the air filter its caused by the IAC valve, I saw a video about it and I'm going to change it so hopefully its just the cat problem pending now .Thank you, you are man!!!!
they always crack right there!! only last about a year unless you get an actual header which is 400 bucks from Doug Thorley
DGAF MOZZY Doug Thorley best for Toyota LCE also
nice vid keep up the good work. had to do head on a 96 tacoma. too it was fun.
You got some nice tools
Hey angel good job what city are you at? i have 4 runner with desame problem at the manifold .
Good video. Im glad I have a smaller dodge dakota, its a lot easier to work on.
Thank you!! Please like and subscribe. Happy New Year!!
I got a 2000 Toyota 4runner 3.4 the motor is hiccuping sounds like it wants to die but dont I've cleaned the throttle body replaced maf sensor no codes are popping up on scan tool any ideas
ANOTHER GREAT JOB MEN I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THANKS
This was a very good video...Surely you're a pro mechanic, right? I wonder if you preheated the manifold before welding it? A lot of times cast iron will crack if welded cold...
+Clete88 Sorry no I'm not a pro. Really I didn't know I had to preheat cast iron manifold, now I know. It was a first time thing so next time I will throw it in my bbq pit. Thank you for pointing that out.

Brazing is the best choice in this case, using nickel/bronze on a preheated iron part....But you pulled it off....Good job.
Thank you for your expertise in welding. I will do it in my videos from now on. Thank you again and have a nice day.
Ok, maybe you can weld it, instead of replacing.
Subscribed... I want to ask that can we clean cat with acid?
You make it look so esay
Your mig wire feed is too fast and/ or the output setting is too low.
If that's California then you had better be sure that that aftermarket converter has the proper EO number stamped on it because if not one day you're going to come across an inspection tech who checks the numbers and it wont matter how well it works you will fail.
wouldn't be that easy here in Pennsylvania with all the rust we get.
was there a direct fit you could order and save all that labor and time?
Great video! Hopefully this is the same fix I need.
Is P0420 always mean new cat needed?
Can you also upload 2006+ Lexus gs for the catyconverter cause it looks so hard to take out
Ang galing mo Pre!
I’d like to try this, but I’m afraid I’ll break a bolt off from the manifold to engine. Any tips other than bolt spray?
So on my truck I have a leak on the egr pipe to the manifold can that cause the p0420 code?
