Catalytic converter cleaning in less than 5 Minutes/Cleaning Catalytic converter with AUTOOL Kit

#AUTOOL #alimech
Autool C100 Car Fuel Injector Cleaning kit: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A5GRq9
In todays video i will show Catalytic converter cleaning in less than 5 Minutes without removing
Removing Catalytic converter for cleaning can be hard and expensive, so i did a test and showed that it worked and cleaned Catalytic converter
i will be Cleaning Catalytic converter with AUTOOL Kit, buy purring soap and water in to the canister and spray it on the Catalytic converter from oxygen sensor hole and then put the sensor back and run the engine
this prosses will push all the dirt out of the tail pipe
you can do that prosses multiple time till you see a nice result, in my video i only did it once and there was a big differences

[@jackempson3044]

I had a PO420 bank one code. I went ahead and replaced my cat and two sensors after not being convinced anything can clean them after a lot of research. . This may work but It would be a mess for me to take my upper sensor off. The man at Midas had 26 years experience. I let him do it. I ordered the OEM parts and had Midas install it. Cost about 1,500 dollars parts and labor total. What I didn't; expect is it greatly improved my gas mileage. It went from 17 to 23-24 mi a gal. I double checked it.

[@DoubtingThomas333]

You want to reverse flush. Too much exhaust pressure can blow seals and gaskets on the engine. Taking the converter off and using a dishwasher tablet in a bucket of hot water overnight is enough. Reverse flush with water quite well, dry it out on a hot day or with a hair dryer, reinstall and you're done.

[@woodsonwoods2943]

THE HECK SERIOUSLY!? Damn near $3k for that!? That’s insane. See I learned how to change a tire, breaks, do the oil, change the fuse under the hood, and the filter. The one in the glove box. Took some digging but hey! However, I need to learn how to do this.

[@BrianKeithPREPPER]

Or just cut it off, stick on a straight pipe lol

[@abdulhassan1107]

The real issue is: you cannot simply REMOVE a catalytic converter or put it back easily. It's welded!!

[@fidedavalos]

This method is good. You don’t need to remove the catalytic or dry it. The heat from the exhaust will dry it completely.

[@JR-kk6ce]

Guys, I have a 2010 Nissan Sentra with over 220,000 miles on it. During the last 13 years, I have gotten catalytic underperforming codes 3 times. This is how I deal with them. With the engine cold, I pour Dawn detergent down a garden house. I then stick the hose as far as it will go into the tailpipe. I then seal, as much as possible, the tailpipe and garden house with plastic bags. I then turn on the house and fill the exhaust system with water and Dawn, making sure that the water does not reach the exhaust manifold but gets past the catalytic converter. I then let the soapy water sit in the exhaust system for 10 minutes. If the water has drained out via the tailpipe or leak in the exhaust system, I again add water until is is just past the catalytic converter and I immediately start the engine. The engine's exhaust will forcefully blow the soapy water out of the exhaust system and clean the catalytic converter. Let the engine run for 20 minutes, or go for a ride, and that's it, problem solved.

and rust out the exhaust and muffler from the inside

[@JR-kk6ce]

@@nickgc1234 no, it all evaporates when you run the engine. By the way, when you start your engine every morning, you will see water dripping out of the exhaust because moisture inside the exhaust is normal

Just for your information, WD-40 is not a lubricant it is a solvent. And can cause problems when it dries. It was designed as a water displacement formula hence the WD.
