@@Sky_daddy_above the extreme combustion and heat coming out of the engine won’t damage your cat, but you believe this little spray can will ? seriously !

@ soft precious metals in the cat have a fairly low melting point

@@haroldgrier8501 thank you for coming back to share your outcome. Glad my video helped you. Hey ! We all forget things. I’ve left caliper hanging hooks attached to the in-laws car and they bring it back telling me the car has a noise 🤣 oops 🤫

@@KLNYC the monitors are not ready because you reset them in the hopes of passing inspection. Unfortunately there’s no way around those monitors. You have to drive long enough for them to be ready. Usually that means the fault code coming back. In NY State you’re allowed only 1 not ready monitor as long as the check engine light is not on for inspection. Do the Seafoam exactly as I show here by going directly into the cat via the 02 sensor opening. Don’t go through the fuel tank or throttle body. Let it sit for atleast 20 minutes then idle the car at 2,000 RPM until no more white smoke comes out of the tailpipe. Afterwards drive the car in a highway to continue blowing out the lose carbon buildup on the cat. Lastly “make sure you re-install the 02 sensor before you start it after the Seafoam spraying otherwise you’ll trigger a different fault code. I’ve had commenters say they now have another code, that’s most likely cause by starting the car won’t out the oxygen sensor installed. Follow my direction for best chances at taking care of the problem. It’s not a guaranteed fix, but it’s definitely worth trying before spending money on a new cat like you mentioned in your comment.

@@crushrreviews That's exactly what I did. I freaking clear every pending codes. I just ordered 2 packs of SF from Amazon. Next weekend I will tackle this project.. I will keep you posted.

You're probably burning oil, around 1qt every 2500 miles or so is standard for that year subaru after 100k miles. This oil burn is coating and contaminating the cat. The cat is a terrible design. I had good luck clearing this code by keeping my PCV clean and running a dose of Cataclean every few tanks of gas. If you want to really pass look up the spark plug defouler trick. Questionably illegal but a lot of people are doing it. Subaru had a terrible design, built to fail, and is charging $1500 - $2500 for the OEM (which they always have over 1000 in stock in the US, gee i wonder why)

@@robertsanchez6998 you should definitely go through the 02 sensor opening if possible, that way you would be putting 100% strength directly into the cat, versus going through the throttle body where the engines combustion would burn it before it has the chance to go through the cat. Hope this makes sense to you. Keep me updated

How did it go?

@@shameika7921 going for state inspection within the next 2 weeks

@crushrreviews ok cool. I just ask. i have two banks and wanted to know. Thank you for your response.

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate your feedback. This channel is all about helping DIYers and your input helps us all. 😃👍🏼

How many days did you drive with Cat Treatment in Tank when it Worked

@@shaunsfrench1942 yes the Chevy Cruze does come with the same engine. I’m not a fan of gloves either but I’m trying to get used to it.

@@crushrreviews oh boys, I'm fan million time of Gloves. Why the hell they were invented? it protects your hands, fingers, skin and keep your hands clean and dry. OMG

In the video linked below I show the monitors after the cleaning ua-cam.com/video/MHFabgEIn7s/v-deo.htmlsi=QpGZPDirA1jjdMHk

@@El_Ka69 you say it cleaned the entire fuel system 🤔. If you sprayed it directly into the CAT from the oxygen sensor port, then It would not have gone through your fuel system. It would have gone directly into the exhaust. How did you use the Seafoam?

​@@crushrreviewsDid you even read the comment?

@@El_Ka69 oops my apologies. I forgot to click “read more” before responding. Please come back and let us know how it turns out.

Like any thing added to gas tank , laquer thinner is best, 6 gallons gas to one gallon of laquer thinner, then drive 120 or more miles non stop to clean out system thoroughly.

I'm just commenting... you should be able to remove the passenger axle & half shaft...and remove the rear cat through the wheel well where the axle was. Take off both oxygen sensors.. and it should come out with lowering the bottom collector pipe too!

your pretty brave to put on a extender to go get it smog, if they catch that , your paying a big fine

When running your power wires from outside into your breaker box (in your house), you're supposed to use it. Why wouldn't you use it on other wiring? Makes no sense to me.

@@cujoedaman Exactly my point.

@@neilasd3043 as I mentioned in my video, it does not work for everyone. That all depends on how bad your catalytic converter is.

@crushrreviews Do it right the first time for everything most additives for whatever don't work the only thing that does 100% of the time is hot water + coffee!!

@@neilasd3043 I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. The water & coffee worked very well for me. Several hundred miles already and still the code has not returned. That is also the case for several of my viewers (positive results) based on the comments. Like I mention in the video. It’s not going to work for everyone. It all depends on your individual situation.

It’s because you don’t work in -weather and don’t know how nice this actually is

@ I’ve lived out of rigs and dumb enough to put a snowblower on a 2025 Deere without a cab in Michigan with a 1 mile driveway. I have no doubt its nice. I felt odd about putting on thermal underwear at 40. I just had t-shirt hoodie and jacket as my complete yearlong wardrobe with whatever jeans I could pack. Its strictly 30 years of traveling and working with what I could put in a pack.

English mijo !!

Interesting point. The issue with my old chevy Truck is that when the engine is running there's a very strong fuel smell that comes from the exhaust. It runs fine but the smell obviously means that I have an issue. Can this also be related to the catalytic converters?

Amen

I changed both my o2 sensors on my 2012 civic si. 274,000 miles. Disconnected my battery (negative terminal) for 5 minutes and check engine light disappeared ... never came back after since changing the sensors but shows graciously on my OBD2 scanner for the PO420 as "permanent" lmao. Although I want to say, before changing my sensors, my Civic was running so damn rich with the check engine light on it was eating gas like a V8! Up until I changed the sensors the car has been running so good like its new until i plugged the scanner in and saw the code. What should I do man? my tags literally need to be renewed on New Years day of 2025 LOL! No check engine light has returned, no power loss, gas consumption is like new but the readings on it is off, and when i took it for emissions i was told that the CAT is not ready. IDK what to do im stressed out lololol

@@GhadSpeed You have to drive for about 50 miles to reset the monitor before getting emissions test.

ive been a certified since the certification came out... 90% arent just plugged not broken up.. Ive recycled thousands of them... dont try to lie to people to make them think you know what your talking about ...

Fuel injection cleaners that come with an induction cleaner which get sucked into the intake manifold works great. I've done hundreds of them. You must have the tank and hose/valve to connect to the vehicle intake and put the induction cleaner in and then run the cleaner at a heavy stream being careful to not let the Cat glow more than a dull red. What is happening is the Sulpher is getting burned off the catalyst honeycomb.

@@DrHarryT I tried some fuel cleaners but not the one that hooks to the air intake. I tried the ones that you add into the gas tank but they didnt work for my p0420. Which fuel injection cleaners do you use?

False. I had put it in all connectors in my both cars. I clean it and then add Dielectric grease and my cars still working fine after 150K miles. Come on stop scaring people, you don't know what you are saying.

@@HeydaCarreras the comments that @apodyr6 is making are correct. Dielectric grease is insulating not conductive, if you cover your metal contacts with dielectric grease you are impacting negatively the function of that connector. Your connector might still work but you are worsening its function and in some cases, under the wrong conditions, it might mal function.

@@JJ-ei1qs Malfunction? after 179K miles? never have a code in both cars? what are you talking about? It keeps corruption out, water and humidity out. That is grease not rubber, it will allow contactor to connect. What the hell you have in your mind?

into your fuel tank should be enough

Yes you can

I put a can into half a tank of gas (9 gal?) and pretty quickly saw 1-2 mpg increase. It seemed to do a good thing and was a good investment for some cheap maintenance. I'll try it again later and maybe more often. It sure didn't hurt anything but seemed to be a smart thing to do every once in a while.
