      Hope the inspector doesn’t catch it if he sees it in it that’s an automatic bill but do it the right way, bro this way your fuel mixture perfect cheating the O2 sensor of oxygen and exhaust makes the computer give it more fuel so you’re wasting more fuel, just fix it the right way like the car was madegood luck good luck

    1 gallon lacquer thinner. 5 gallons gas (half tank total, don't drive full). then get on the highway. drive 70 to 80 mph. burn the gas/thinner. light should go off. you might need to repeat process. the thinner cleans out the cat.

It wasn’t that dirty honestly I think it was just clogged somewhere near the o2 sensor and that’s what was throwing the light so after I washed it out it’s fine I drove it like 50 miles still no cel.

      As a mechanic of 30 yrs I'm going to let you know with some of the older vehicles it will stop the check engine light. The only problem is when your catalytic converter starts going out it will eventually plug completely up and the reason it's going out is because because your engine is not running up to par the way it should be. Meaning that your engine cannot get rid of the exhaust gases so they will start to backup. Your engine will eventually stall and not run, and it will more than likely try to blow out your head gaskets from the exhaust pressure looking for a way to escape the engine if you keep running it. There is another problem with your engine there is a problem with your engine whether it be a misfire etc. Fix that and then replace your catalytic converter and you will be fine

    My 07 Honda accord had aftermarket Cat installed and now the OBD II sensor says my sensor “Bank 1” air/fuel ratio is what’s causing check engine light and nothing else was detected what so ever. Is it possible that all I need is a new sensor for bank 1 ? And does is it need to be OEM sensor ? I believe the OEM for my Honda accord is “Denso” and also does the sensor for “Bank 2” also have to be OEM denso brand ? They replaced the “Bank 2” sensor since they stole my entire CAT and almost the entire exhaust system and I’m wondering if the bank 2 sensor is aftermarket and somehow confusing the car and causing the Bank 1 sensor to mess up. I really need help bad with this because I can’t find any used cars at all what so ever In the $8,000 price range that have less than 120,000 miles with good gas mileage and all I can find all over Northern California is the stupid ass “09’ Toyota Yaris” in my price range that’s decent on gas and I do not like anything about that car so I really need help whoever reads this message and what I should do ? Will the aftermarket CAT pass smog if I have OEM sensors in bank 1&2 ? Or is it possible the CAT itself even with brand new OEM sensors still fail smog if I replace the sensors with Denso brand OEM ? Please help haha 😂 I have 178K miles on my Honda and it runs amazing even with the issue I have rn… not a single issue besides this problem. What should I do y’all ? Thank you! I have the PO420 code and says Bank 1 sensor. When they put bank 2 sensor on the new aftermarket cat I wasn’t told if it is aftermarket sensor or OEM either. Do I need to replace both with brand new denso OEM ? And even if I do will it pass smog even with the aftermarket CAT ? I don’t wanna have to buy a new car or a new cat..

    lol no. I mean this will work out 30% of time. Just replace the root cause of the problem. Which is not 02 sensor. Sometimes it just is gasket failure, sometimes bad substrate. But rarely o2 on a 0420 code. 😂
