    I have to comment on this!!! My daughter's 2013 Ford flex has had it's check engine light on and it's time for inspection. The codes say both catalytic front and back are bad. I contacted my mechanic he quoted me a repair price of 1700.00 dollars. Ouch. I have been looking for a way out. So I heard about cataclean. Yesterday I put cataclean in a fourth of a tank of gas. I reset the computer by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. The flex resets the computer after you drive 85 miles. I got on the hyway and drove 100 miles straight stomping the gas from time to time, putting the engine in passing gear to force cataclean past ignition into the catalytic converter. At 85 miles the check engine light DID NOT COME ON. At 100 mile no check engine light. I drove to inspection station. IT PASSED INSPECTION. IM IN SHOCK IT WORKED COST 25 DOLLARS TO SAVE ME 1700.00. IT WORKED.

    This stuff does work. But you have to use it as it says. The 1/4 tank part and driving afterwards is very important. 1 part they dont mention is that it helps to drive the vehicle with more of a lead foot then normal. Dont drive it like its the last lap at of the 500 but get the rpms up which will in turn heat up the system and force the crap out of cats and exhaust aswell as increase the injector latency and duty cycle. This stuff, seafoam and crc maf cleaner are 3 of the best products on the market for people to save hundreds if not thousands on stuff that can be done at home in 30 min

    In the process of waiting for a 2009 Honda Pilot results. Had codes P0420 & P0430, on a close to empty tank filled it up with a similar brand called Dura Lube and filled up the tank. That's really helpful that you have that live data scanner that narrowed it down to a specific oxygen sensor. I remember when I used to work at a small car lot, removing and cleaning the oxygen sensors with a grinder would also help clear the codes at times.

The ECM basically threw it into a lymp mode. Was still driveable, but it was slower. Thankfully, the warranty is still covering the $1500+ repair. Just hit 50k miles, and it's been an awesome car till this point.

    Update: So I tried it and it really worked! At least for long enough for the car to pass emissions and be registered. Then after 200 miles the same check engine light with code P0420 came back on. So I have to say the fact it went 200 miles before coming back on was very impressive and makes me think it helped clean it a bit because in past it would come on after 40-50 miles . This 2003 corolla has over 250k miles so im sure theres a lot of carbon caked on in there! Im gonna run another treatment of it through and we are going to run one bottle a year in our toyota van also as preventative maintenance in hopes it prevents us from ever having the same issue. So while i was skeptical at first,, In the end im quite impressed and for 27 dollars it was definitely worth trying it and Id recommend it. In addition the car accelerates better too so it ay have also cleaned the fuel injectors. And hopefully with a few more treatments enough carbon will be cleaned out of the cat and the issue goes away.

    As far as I know catalytic converter works neutralizing exhaust gases through a hot chemical reaction because of the compounds of what it's made of, so, you cannot clean that, so I believe what you're actually doing is cleaning the fuel system, fuel tank, valve seats, injectors and ducts, cleaner fuel system, cleaner combustion, better readings.

    My wife has a 2009 Jeep Rubicon. Needed to get an inspection but the engine light came on. Bad Cat... so... I asked the mechanic if I could just pick up a replacement cat. He said you can try. So I found one for 230 bucks. Oops, not for this Wrangler. (built in California)(very strict ) It has 4, yes 4 cats, 2 in front Left Right, two in the rear Left right. The right front was giving the code. I said well can't we just replace that one ? So I checked with a local dealer shop. They said you have to replace the entire exhaust on that vehicle. It comes all in one piece. Oh crap... Well how much is that ? $6500.00 WHAT ?!?!?? Good thing I was sitting down. That doesn't include labor. We can't afford that. So being there was only a week left on the current inspection, I did some research scrambling and discovered CATACLEAN. It has to be worth the try. I did it. the product worked clearing the engine light. Took it back to the mechanic and he says WOW. Passed inspection. Unfortunate after a month the engine light came back on. Time to order more. With the engine light on, my wife can't remote start. Being it is a cold winter here on Long Island, and she heads in very early to work, I will have to maintain her ability to warm up before going out into the freezing temps. Thanks Cataclean, you saved us. several thousand dollars. But now I gotta buy more. (sad).

Already put maf sensor, new timing chain, new valve cover gasket, new coil pks and new plugs in it. It idles perfect and no misfiring anywhere. When it does go in limp mode, it dont cut off, but it will get down to about 20 mph.

    any addictive ie cataclean, Liquid moly etc are not bad for some reasons it’s good, but You need to balance between the Gas and those addictive things, Because they can Contaminate the O2 sensor too, after use you have to clean up the sensor and always use quality of fuel and Driving habits has always been so important

    Hey guys good info you spreading.
    I got a question of my own.
    Exhaust back presure sensor went bad. B class 180 2014.
    Ill replace it soon. Is this a indicator that the catalytic converter is not working properly? Or is it just the sensor. The car is on 49.5 mpg for the last 12000 miles. So it's pretty good i guess. Give me a quick thought please.

    My newest acquisition is a 2007 Xterra. It has a lot of stuff needing fixed (i knew some of it, going in) but i didnt expect the CEL to be because of an ailing Bank 1 Catalyst. Now, i am having my local service center do the repairs (Im not a mechanic!) I cant afford the quoted $1600 per cat they quoted me, at least not for awhile. But heres the thing: when i asked them about CATACLEAN, they said, "We've never heard of this product. DON'T USE IT." Well, i dont have a choice; nobody is willing to clean or repair the cat, and im not willing to have it gutted. SO. Cataclean it is. Hopefully it will stabilize the cat until i can replace it!

    if the vehicle does not have mobility for whatever reason, instead of driving it for 20 minutes to blow out impurities, can you rev it to 3500 rpm for 20-30 minutes? is there a specific reason to be at quarter tank upon dilution? If it is at half tank, what if someone added 2 bottles instead of one of cataclean? (questions viewers might have for certain situations)

    Got code P0420 2014 Expedition, saw this video and purchased cataclean. Truck was on quarter of tank with check engine light on. I put cataclean in at Autozone parking lot and sat and revved engine for 3 or 4 minutes and the check engine light turned off. Drove for 20 minutes then put 91 shell in it and drove 100 miles. Noticed a slight increase in power and a slight increase in mpg. But no check engine light came back on. Will update later if any significant changes happen.

I almost give up and think about take the cat out to clean it. But before that i see the video talk about use Lacquerthinner GML 170 and i tried it with half tank of gas ( Prius , around 4 gallons gas) i put completely 1 gallon of lacquer thinner in the tank and drive around until almost completely empty gas tank and filled up another tank , the engine light is gone. It happens u til now around a month, i don’t see the engine light come back .

      From what I see on several videos and comments here, you'd have to reset the computer by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery. Another option is to clear the code with a scan tool (autoparts stores let you use them for free). I have not seen anyone say that the code will go away on its own. Good luck!

    Don’t you love it. The o2 sensors are part of the issue. I’m a women however I do major research. I called around auto parts store ti check prices for sensors which quoted260.00. I just had it diagnosed because it had a code that had several issues…I have a reader so I’m aware of it. The shop charged 100.00 and said we will start with o2 sensors. Oops sorry boys, the O’Reilly parts man suggested this product so guess what I’m going to do‼️‼️‼️👏👏👏 I’m getting some and going to follow the instructions from this video and clean things up so I don’t have to replace sensors. I drive the other German car.. 🚗.. Smart car Thats unfortunately not so smart. I actually know more about these cars than Mercedes does. I’ve had issues with the clutch actuator and had it fixed.. THANKS TO TH-cam again and again‼️.. I can’t wait to see how it works on my car. When it runs good I can get at least 50 miles ti the gallon on hwy.. and that is with additive. Marvels mystery oil works good. Thanks guys for your video‼️‼️ I bet you are saving people LOTS of $$$$$$$. I o we need a 1989 325i fir 15 years so I know how much repairs can be even at a ship that undercut others but still did a good job‼️‼️
