Barry Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 It all depends on how many sensors are on the exhaust system. Most older stuff has one upstream of the cat and one on each manifold, then you can do what you want with the cat, cut it out, jump up and down on it, set fire to it. If you remove the cat on newer cars with downstream sensors, that’s where your problems start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow79 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 i heard something about o2 emulators that you have to splice it there and funky things stop but its something i heard not tried as of till now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Sounds plausible but if you’re going to that length it’s probably better just to run megasquirt or something similar along with a wideband sensor. Gives you more things to play around with too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow79 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 till now had not had the chance to play around such scenarios but 95% who had such problems i had cleared the catalyst converter out and or tossed the sensor itself only with exception with few who understood and wanted their car as original as possible and were ready to pay the price of used or a new one too....

Barry Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Nail. On. Head. The majority of people don’t care if the problem gets fixed, they just want the CEL turned off for the lowest price. If you won’t do it, somebody else will. I miss working on cars full time sometimes but on the other hand, selling your soul for 50 dhs here and there just isn’t worth it when it comes to your integrity. I’ve always prided myself on doing a good job but in uae doing a good job is rarely recognised unless it’s cheap and cheap + good doesn’t compute. Luckily, we have a Venn diagram to demonstrate, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the majority of people, cars are just white goods. They just don’t care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
