I’ve used this before and it worked for me. Great stuff

[@wandajames6234]

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.

[@pepsilove6306]

Worked for me! 2007 Honda Accord EX 2.4L four piston. Before I used it I got some kind of error code P 420 prevented passing emissions. I think you do want to include some highway miles on the car when driving the gas tank down to "empty" (1/8 of a tank.)

In the early to mid '90s, I owned a '76 Granada (302) with 160k miles on it. I'd always use this a few days before smog testing. It produced amazing numbers.

@@kanob6440 About a month ago my wife's 2015 Hyundai all of the sudden started running rough. I figured it was a clogged injector. Got a bottle of GTP, ran it, the car is running smooth as glass and the CEL went out. The stuff really works.

[@FixLife119]

​@@kanob6440I'm curious if it works for you. I failed in my 87 Samurai, replaced my cat and muffler and failed again. Wondering if this would work.

[@stoundingresults]

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. Update, 10-21-2022 did seafoam thru brake booster again and new iridium spark plugs and wires. Barely passed.

[@YouGotsTheRabies]

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.

[@lazaroalonso8542]

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.

[@sharw9621]

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]

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. 🤞🙏🏼☮️

[@pepsilove6306]

most the time EGR code is a plugged EGR and those are a pain in the butt to clean, or a air leak before the cat. [in my case my EGR code was due to rotted out manifolds.]

[@kayjay4060]

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 KZbin it.

Hey I have a code P0446..: will this help ? My check engine light is on and I have a Chevy Malibu 2004. I just replaced my gas cap and still same issue, thanks

[@PhillipsVision]

Your code pertains to an evap leak. This will probably not work because this is a cleaner. Your issue is possibly a loose connection in your exhaust system...at the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe connection where the manifold meets the exhaust pipe. Try tightening the manifold stud nuts and it should solve the problem

[@ImTheMan78]

I am seeing a lot of people saying that it worked for them but I can't say the same for me unfortunately. I bought some and put it in my tank 3 days ago. I have only driven 31 miles since I put it in so I wonder if that's the issue or not? Are you supposed to drive it until your tank's empty before it starts working?

[@PhillipsVision]

You need to follow the directions exactly as written on the box. Keep in mind that if you have damaged parts, they will need to be replaced. This is only a cleaner.

[@PhillipsVision]

Did you clear the codes after replacing the sensors? Always clear them after fixing the issue that way if any new codes come up you know they are new

[@conormcgregor5460]

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

@@drewtorre7717 I would follow the directions exactly as it says on the container. I don’t have the container anymore so I can’t say for sure. Just make sure to use it as called out by the manufacturer

My 88 300e Mercedes barely failed, I used this and my car failed worse

[@pepsilove6306]

if its a 88, clean ya car up really good and get it classified as a Classic. most states exempt 25 year old+ cars if they are classified as a classic. did that to my old S10. bought a tub of fiberglass patch puddy, filled in all my rust holes, gave it a really good sanding, gave it a rattle can paint job with a high gloss clear coat finish, and detailed the inside real good, and registered it as a classic car since it was 28 years old. inspector knew exactly what I was doing when I replated it as a classic, but he couldnt legally stop me XD.

This stuff is good to use as a fuel system cleaner anywhere. It has a large amount of PEA the same stuff that's in Techron. I put it in a quarter tank,then warm up the car get on the highway a punch it for a few sec then repeat a few more times. Stuff is amazing. Best on the market.

I tried this product 3 times. And it did NOT do the job. Never again.

[@JohnnyangelNIU]

Like most cars, the issue of them not passing emissions is probably a much deeper or more complicated problem. This stuff might work for 20% of minor emissions failure cases, the other 80% if you have BIG stuff wrong with your car, it's not gonna correct the overarching problems nor even get you to "skate by the test", which is the goal for most people obviously.

I drove 496 miles in one day to empty the fuel tank, still throwing the P0430 code. These things are snake oil in a bottle.

[@prestonjames6776]

The P0430 is a code for bank 2 catalytic converter inefficiency. Chances are you have a bad 🐈.

[@jasonhendrie3716]

Won’t fix a bad 02 sensor. My 07 4Runner threw that code. Used high end scanner and found faulty reading from bank 2 02sensor. Voltage was incorrect

[@whoknows4279]

You have a faulty O2 sensor(s). Read the statement on the bottle about that. P0430 code problem with 02 sensor(s).

[@Not_Sure_]

LOL. I'm a licensed state inspector. In California about 95% of the cars wouldn't qualify for guarantee of this product.

My truck has 34 gallon tank, I'm about to take a huge loss selling it in a state that is the standard for emissions in yes you guessed it California!!!....Low miles, just a modified intake, catalytic, and no EO stickers, having stickers on thier way solved half of it!!, this should help a different cat, and whatever else un detectable!??....unforeseen issues on a new out of state vehicle!!

[@kaylahermundson803]

Does it turn your check engine light off? Lol

[@PhillipsVision]

If it’s a sensor that is causing it to come on...yes, it will shut It off

[@NumeroGaijin]

This seems kind of useless imo. If I already have a check engine light....it voids everything. I have a brake sensor code and I'm still failing.
