/O/ld niggas, I repaired all 3 O2 (Two upstream, one downstream) sensors, but I'm still getting a P0420 code, and there's nothing wrong with the catalytic converter, what could be causing this code? Should I ignore it?
>>
Clear codes
Wait
If problem persists test sensors with a multimeter.
>>
>>15917482
Did you clear the codes and they came back?

Or did you skip that step?
>>
>>15917497

Everything seems to be running smoothly according to my friend who has a ODB2 scanner though...think it has to do with the purge valve? It was replaced recently, then that code actually re-emerged about a week later.
>>
>>15917499

Codes cleared already, they're all new oem o2 sensors. The nature of the car is quite odd to say, we put a new evap system on it, but a week later that code popped up.

Replace the fucking cat you sperglord.
>>
How can you know the cat is fine, and why would you replace the upstream sensors?
>>
>>15917482
Find someone who has a real diagnostic computer, and see what is actually tripping the P0420, because it's probably the cat
>>
>>15917482
>po420
>not teh cat
IT'S THE FUCKING CAT.
>>
Whoa i thought this thread died, guys, any DIRECT way to check if it's the cat myself? I'm not trying to pour money into some mechanic's pocket.

>>15919673
There were codes for all the sensors that's taken care of, just the p0420 shit came back.
>>
>>15921905
You still replaced them thinking it would fix the issue. Remove the cat and check the honey comb
>>
>>15917482
It could be faulty wiring or connection with the o2 sensors of the cats are still functional
>>
>>15922480
>>15922862

Well, should I be noticing jerking or engine misfires, cause i dont see any of that.
>>
- Three way catalyst converter Bank 1
- Exhaust tube - Intake air leaks
- Fuel injectors may be faulty
- Fuel injector leaks
- Spark plugs may be faulty
- Improper ignition timing
- Engine Control Module (ECM)
- Dirty air filter
>>
>>15925540

I heard there might a fuel injection issue, problem, I do smell gas, but for the car's age I thought that was normal? I'll look into all of those, thanks.
>>
Light a fat blunt off the hot cat, and see if it still pulls that code.
>>
>P0420
Just blaze it, faggot.
