    Emission tests are ridiculous and irrelevant which is why they stopped doing them where I live. I'm a retired Class A mechanic. There is NO way to accurately measure what cars produce-- a part may malfunction intermittently, readings fluctuate on a minute-by-minute basis- you might fail the test if you took it later the very same day. And the worst offenders-- vintage cars, buses, trucks, heavy equipment and planes, etc., are exempt. You can own a brand new 'zero-emission' vehicle and it still may fail the test-- and the emissions you produce driving around, buying extra gas, paying to have a mechanic drive it around and test it-- well you do the math. Not to mention the parts we throw into landfills that were still working and causing negligible damage to the environment-- geez. I ask you. One more example of 'chickens-with-their-heads-cut-off' environmentalist alarmists who can't see the forest for the trees.

    It definately lowered Hydrocarbon but raised the NOX on my 95 nissan pick up. Still not enough to pass, turning my truck in to the mechanic so he can figure it out. I also seafoamed through the brake booster vacuum hose so not sure which worked. GTP might work.

      Try cleaning the throttle body with an old toothbrush and a can of throttle body cleaner. Focus on the area where the throttle blade closes against the housing. The carbon build-up there interferes with airflow at idle and low throttle conditions.

    • @BassManBobBassCovers

      Usually, it's always the catalytic converter. On my Regal GS, I have the ZZP 3" downpipe for regular driving, but when doing emissions, I go back to the OEM downpipe with an oversized 3" magnaflow cat. If close, you can just get a new upstream oxygen sensor.

  • @sharw9621
    @sharw9621 2 роки тому +28

    I was skeptical but this legit worked for me. I just passed my emissions after trying to pass since last September. This product stopped my engine light from coming in. The repair shop wanted to charge me $2000, saying I needed two new catalytic converters and $1000 to fix some air leaks, but GTP got all my monitors ready with no check engine light or DTCs. Don't get discouraged if your lights come on before you finish the tank of GTP. You have to drive until you use the whole tank. Just reset and keep driving. I used one and a half bottles of GTP.

    • @goodintentions1302
      @goodintentions1302 2 роки тому

      Thanks for saying not to get discouraged if the light comes on. It happened to me last night after driving 15.4 miles & I did get really discouraged. So now I realize I've got a lot more gas in the tank to do it's work. I wish the guys at the garage had told me that but they were really busy & at least recommended GTP before telling me I need an expensive repair. They did tell me not to go over 59 mph so I was keeping it to below 50mph. 🤞🙏🏼☮️

    This worked on my vehicle. P0420 was diagnosed a year ago. Kept on driving and multiple erases were conducted but light kept coming back on. I tried Cataclean that did nothing except slightly better gas mileage. I failed imy NY state nspection and light was still on. Finally I tried this while shopping at Autozone because of the bold "double your money back guaranteed to pass" label. Well guess what, I put it in with less than half a tank of gasthen drove it till nearly empty than filled tank next day and shortly after Check engine light turned itself off. Went to inspection and passed. Note, I filled my car with premium gas from Stewarts Gas Station which is Non-ethanol gas when choosing premium. Total miles driven before light turned itself off was 183 miles, and yes I had reset trip odometer to zero before pouring in bottle into gas tank.

    • @kayjay4060
      @kayjay4060 Рік тому

      EGR systems are circulatory, and run from the exhaust to the intake. There are tubes that the EGR gases go through. Your issue is likely due to those passages clogged with carbon. You will need to figure out how to clean EGR Carbon passages from your particular vehicle. Which is different from engine to engine. Try to UA-cam it.

      P0420 can be a dirty cat or downstream o2 sensor. You shouldn't have replaced the upstream sensor at all. P0420 is a dirty cat, clogged cat, or downstream O2 sensors is fouled up.
      My car threw a p0420 on my benz the drive shaft snapped it was clinking around under my car as I pulled off the road. It dented my catalytic converter and most likely damaged the honey comb on the inside some prob crumbled to dust and grit and clogged it up. Now I have a p0420 threshold below bank 1 sensor 2. On my car I have dual cats my bank 1 cat is the passenger side and the sensor 2 is downstream.
      If you still have the code try this stuff or try the rislone cat cleaner they sell at AutoZone, ad if neither of these cleaners work then take off your catalytic converter and clean it on a bucket of detergent water like Scotty kilmers video on How to clean a catalytic converter

      No, those pertain to evap leaks. The P0442 is the purge valve near the throttle body. Could have a vacuum leak. The P0456 is a small leak in your evap system. Could be loose bolts/studs that hold the exhaust manifold. This cleaner only cleans components.
