Jim - I have the exact problem on my 2011 Nissan Quest. I have the engine noise only while driving. I thought it was a bearing issue since I did not have a check engine light at that time. I got the P0420 code yesterday. I'm going lift up the car and check for the leak. Thank you again for a great video that will save a lots of money to folks who have the same issue.

Hey Jim! I wonder if my older 2001 Nissan Altima has the same problem. The "service engine soon" came on last October after I filled the gas tank. Nissan turned it off, believing it was a gas cap issue, but it popped back on again. There are no strange smell or noise, but also no exhaust from the tail pipe. It sticks a little on acceleration, drags uphill, and hiccuped once when I stopped at a traffic light. Just as I am about to park it so I don't blow the engine and I cannot afford to replace the cat, I see your video and remember that Nissan's been suggesting that there's a leak somewhere. I didn't think a leak was that important because there were no puddles underneath and the car seemed to run fine. Even though I'm late to the party, thank you for sharing this new perspective. I'll check it out.

Great work there Jim. Full diagnostics of the problem, and what caused it. I'm sure the parts changers at the last shop didn't listen to the customer about the noise coming from under the hood. Just seen the code and went for the cats. I'm sure the customer is happy also, since they don't have to replace the cats. You earned yourself another long term customer.

I recently had an engine replaced for a 2003 Altima a 2.5L. After installation, my engine light came up. My scanner read P0420. I was thinking my cat needed replaced. I replaced the seal and deleted the code. I had a smog check, my car passed but my check engine light came up again with the same code. What's triggering that code now?
