    Had 6 codes cleared them all, changed the oil, transmission fluid, spark plugs, air intake, cleaned egr, changed the evap cleaned all the stuck carbon out of the manifold including removing the sensor and cleaning that port out as well. Test drove a million times and still the same issue and no check engine light and I almost lost my mind until I watched this. Even though I havent done it yet, I know this is my problem through your explanation that ive been looking for over 22 web pages. Great job and thank alot for the help. Subscribed!

      Man I went through the same. This is on my 2005 buick lesabre. Fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs, wires, coils, fuel injectors, egr valve, mass air flow sensor, upstream and downstream o2 sensors, battery, alternator, and lastly the valve cover gasket(just needed it) I'm trying one last thing before I replace the entire exhaust (rockauto $360) and that's the fuel pressure regulator. Before any of that I'm going to loosen the exhaust manifold and just see because of this video. Problem is the random misfire code and flashing check engine light...

    This dude reminds me of my old Boss Hogan. I went to work for him right after I got out of college for mechanics. I went in already having been fixing vehicles for friends and myself, didn't learn as much as I hoped (especially after the money) but I learned SOOO much from Hogan so quickly.
    Seriously, when I say reminds, I mean basically is. They even look similar. I hope he is doing well, haven't talked to him in many years. Guy took me in like family.

    laser temp reader. They're like $20 and if the cat is plugged it's hotter upstream (closer to the engine) than it is downstream. When a cat works properly it should be hotter downstream. I dumped sea foam into mine after removing the upstream O2 sensor into the cat and it cleaned it up.

    Keep posting videos like this one! Diagnosing problems the on cars can be harder than the actual work sometimes. All your videos should be "How to idenitfy a bad ...." in my opinion or at least have a playlist of the most common problems. Looks like your going to pass 130k on this one and from the looks of it your other videos don't have many views. Stick with what's working and you'll get there. Great job on this one!

    Thats great analysis. I suspect the same in my Camry 2005. It's blowing a lot of air from oil cap, and it sounds like exhaust when I open the oil cap in the valve cover. No smoke, no check engine light, PCV valve and hose are new. There was an exhaust leak just before the cat converter, and I just repaired that leak. I didn't check the oil cap before fixing the exhaust leak, but my guess is that engine is not able to breath from exhaust, and as a result the pressure is building up inside the engine, and releases any where it can. In this case it's the valve cover. I also noticed that in idle if I cover the exhaust tail pipe by hand, the engine does not die or even struggle.
    Unfortunately I cannot disconnect my exhaust easily. Someone removed the flange and welded it to the pipe permanently. Thanks for sharing your analysis. Subscribed.

    My man, thanks a bunch. You've helped me confirm my suspicion with my 3v Mustang GT. No jerking or struggling while accelerating, but definitely, like you said, very little air coming out the exhausts (almost no air at all). I also run a burble/popcorn tune, so, yeh...Plus orange hot cats when climbing around the mountains. Plus bad smell especially on cold start and all the time basically. I've also got an up and down idle but I believe that's because of a bad water pump? Lots of evidence of coolant coming out from below the pump. Haven't done any vacuum leak tests though.

    Thank you so much for making this video. I have a 99 Jimmy and it is acting just as you described. I have to push it and push it to maintain 100 km on the freeway. Yesterday, initially, I barely made it over a hill close to home. I had it floored and would hardly go over maybe about 20 mph. I was thinking maybe a problem with the injectors but after watching your video I am convinced it is most likely a clogged cat. Maybe debris from the cat has also travelled farther down steam and possibly caused a blockage in the muffler too. I have a scan tool the reads live data so I can also check the O2 sensors and I will purchase a new vacuum gauge also so I can see how the engine is breathing. Like you said that it is like trying to run with your hand over your mouth. ( I had a vacuum gauge but it is missing in action. ) Thank you so much and I am now SUBSCRIBED!!

    Backyard mechanic way to tell if it's the CC. Pull the O2 sensor out of your down pipe near the exhaust manifold and if the car goes from running rough to normaling out when you pull that O2 sensor out, you know it's the catalytic converter.
    A bad CC isn't absorbing emissions and is forcing back pressure back up into the engine. Pulling that O2 sensor allows that pressure to escape out of that O2 port. If you can afford it, take it to a mechanic and they can pull the engine computer data and it'll take them about 5 mins to diagnose it.

      ⁠i have a 02 silverado 1500 4.3 v6 with a p0420 code which i think is a clogged cat, which sensor would i have to pull off to test up or downstream?

    • @MrRedHotChiliMan
      @MrRedHotChiliMan 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@bryan_trades8867 honestly could be either. I had the same code and changed the upstream sensor, then after changing it and clearing the code. I had a different code pop up for the catalytic inefficiency on the down stream sensor. The CEL reading should tell you which bank it’s coming from, but in your case(v6) I believe you have at least 3 02 sensors if I’m not mistaken.

    I'm having problem with that too. Even I have check engine light on,I diagnosed it(OBD2) and it's said something about cat from under (catalytic converter sensor),not front catalytic close to engine then I ignored it. I don't even know what front catalytic does. I noticed my car jerking while I accelerate like it making me feel that it was low motor oil and I changed it myself. My mpg burned fast than normal. It won't go up to 40 per hrs. I thought it was transmission worn out because of 300k. I went to mechanical(near house). He tested drive it and floor the gas like why it got loud on the hood, he said that my front catalytic is clogged. I started to understand why my OBD2 trying to warn me but it did not say anything about front catalytic . I never knew front catalytic have honeycomb as filter to prevent harm dirty gas in my life. Only under car catalytic pipe I only heard since I took care of my car.

    Update : this video helped me diagnose and fix my 2013 Acura TL SH-AWD V6 which had no check engine light, and a sudden loss of power above 3500 rpm. One of the catalytic convertors was clogged due to broken catalyst bits stuck in the exhaust mid pipe. Pulled out the pieces and it runs like a top again. Thank you very much 😊

      @@alltsab actually it was the original 3rd catalytic convertor ( which luckily isn't monitored so no check engine light from gutting it either! )But the car has 163,000 miles and burns some oil which I think killed it quicker. The acura J37 v6's have oil consumption issues unfortunately.
