Another sign of a clogged cat is very little pressure coming from the tailpipe. Take a rag or an old towel and hold it over the tailpipe opening (Wear gloves while doing this- safety first!). You should feel pressure from the exhaust pushing upon your hand. If you can feel little to no pressure at all your cat might be clogged up.

[@karenyoung5357]

Was the rattling noise only on start up?

[@Whats-It-To-Ya]

@@karenyoung5357 a rattling noise on start-up is worn out motor mounts or a loose exhaust bracket somewhere. A lot of times its both because worn motor mounts allow the engine to move too much which pulls on the exhaust system, causing leaks, breaks and rattling sounds. Actually, worn motor mounts are really bad for multiple reasons as it can cause damage to your transmission and suspension and steering components. Hope this helps you out a little.

Good thing I don't have to deal with emissions test anymore or License plate renewal stickers. We no longer have License plate renewal stickers, it used too cost $120 for a year renewal sticker and $240 for a 2 years renewal sticker. Now all you do is go to the DMV show them proof of your insurance, the ownership of the vehicle and the recorded mileage or kilometers on the instrument cluster. It's way easier to renewal your License, then it was 3 years ago.

I also have a pO420 code and have very similar symptoms. Accelerating slowly like you said around 20-30 mph you can feel and sometimes hear hesitation. Once im up to speed there are minimal issues.

Most likely possibilities: Catalytic converter Exhaust manifold leak Dirty or bad o2 sensor Bad spark plugs/ wires Other things I'm probably forgetting Look up how to determine which cylinder is misfiring just in case. Usually involves turning the car on, and removing one spark plug wire from the distributor cap, listening, then putting it back on and repeat with each wire. If one being removed creates a noticeable change in sound/ idling that is likely the cylinder related to the issue. From there, research. Many people have many suggestions on what to test from there depending on your specific car. This might help if there's a compression issue as well.

@@gloomweed318 I been pulled over by grumpy small town cops in plenty of red states. So I ask is lane splitting legal in your state? Cuz doesn't seem free to me, not getting caught by cops doesn't mean you are free. It just means you're getting away with it. Plenty of other countries have cops that don't bother to do anything, don't mean they free

Funny, cars that were built before catalytic converters never smelled like rotten eggs. Why does a car with them smell like that when they fail? There must be some partial conversion happening so that part of the emissions are converted or a 2 step reaction and only the first step occurs.

My thoughts are leaded versus unleaded 🤔

[@michaellowe3665]

@@stevegarcia1796 classic cars that don't have them at all don't smell that way even when running on unleaded. 4cycle lawn mowers don't have them either and they they don't have the rotten egg smell.

This video fails to inform people that any brand new\functioning aftermarket hi flow catalytic converter will throw a code because of the unbalanced air to fuel ratio being emitted and not being recognized by the cars cpu.

Dude why would a catalytic converter cause so much ?

Way too much , you’re getting ripped off

[@jaymartin9468]

Traverse are garbage. Anyways, I never did look up the rpms. It get to about 45mph then Boggs out. Is that the same as in the video where he says they’re at a red light and the RPMS only allow to get up to 3 grand? I’ve had it test, 4 mechanics and at parts stores all read different. Napa and auto zone. So who do I go by? This is a joke and the worse vehicle ever made. Now it’s my window. Don’t know if it’s off track or motor is out. I replaced the drivers main control switch. Just a little ticked off.

[@CodyBruz4207]

Let just say the real reason is they added a catalytic converter so u had to get them replaced lose more money

[@jackgomez9440]

how high were u when u filmed this video LOL
