I have had a check engine light on constant in my 03 Chevy PU with 347,000 miles for almost 2 years, we checked it with a code scanner and it read inefficient cat function. I was about to scrap the truck even tho it runs great because the repair was over $2,000 , with that many miles on the trans and motor it seemed like too much of a gamble. I tried Scotty's fix and ran a gallon of solvent thru the truck. The light did not go off until about 10 days later when I was running a regular tank of gas thru it, I could not believe it I went straight to a test center and passed with flying colors no codes!!! I am good for another 2 years.......unbelievable Thanks !!!

@rwu9192 7 лет назад
Thank you! I cannot tell you how much your video helped me pass my emissions test. I took all of your advise (the paint thinner was a little too much for me, so I used a fuel additive, specifically for NOx emissions). I had failed my emissions test with a NOx GPM of 2.5548 (limit is 2.5). I was going to bring it to a mechanic, and then searched the Internet and found your video. First, I cleaned out my air filter box, and changed the air filter, I had changed my oil about 2 weeks prior, so I was in good shape. Next, my gas tank was at 1/4 full, so I added the fuel additive, and filled up my tank with the highest grade gasoline. I also noticed that my coolant was also low, so topped that off the reservoir. (I also cleared my ODBC readings from my car.) I then drove my car for 50+ miles to work the fuel through the system, and to heat up the cat. converter to help burn off all the emissions. I then drove right to the inspection area (lucky for me, there was only one car ahead of me), and was able to pass inspection with a NOx GPM of 1.4921. Your suggestions dropped my emission of NOx by 1.0629 GPM. I couldn't believe it. Thank you again for making this information available. You probably saved me a few hundred dollars in garage fees.

Thanks Scotty! I have an 88 Toyota Pickup with about 35k on a rebuilt engine. The last two times I had it smogged I had to change the Cat both times at a cost of around $160 each time. I bought a gallon of laquer thinner this time, poured about 80% of it into a little more than half a tank and drove it on the freeway for 70 miles. Took it to the Star Smog station and it passed! I resigned myself to having to buy a new Cat each time, but no more! Thanks!!

Great video!!! I just learned a new one: on older vehicles (but still 96 & newer) don't disconnect the battery within like 7days or even longer before smogging- because the car computer needs time to run tests on the emissions components including the catalytic converter. One of the reasons I just failed smog (other was visual; patched hose) :| .

@johnbecich9540
@johnbecich9540 6 лет назад
Yeah, it's never good to drive any car outside its design parameters. There's no spec on "how dirty is too dirty" so we revert to the old rule: if you can see a light bulb through the filter, it's probably OK. Meanwhile, modern closed-loop (feedback) cars (say, after 1998) adjust fuel level to compensate for improver fuel-to-air ratio, caused by less-than-perfect air filter. The ultimate element of importance is the O2 sensor (s). It's a fundamental principal of closed loop systems that the feedback element is more important than the "amplifier" (the engine). If the feedback element is dorked, you're toast.

It can actually run both rich or lean, depending upon what type of fuel injection or carburation system it has. Either way, a dirty filter can make you fail the test. I've seen cars with clogged filters trip running lean codes, AND trip running rich codes on different models.

Scotty, any danger of putting too much fuel cleaner? The brand you showed can't be found, except as paint cleaning :-/ Lucas is recommended by some. Says use 5 oz per tank. Will 1 gal in 1/2 tank damage anything? Do we put another gallon after filling up tank before going for emissions, or just fill up gas with no additional cleaner?

Those guys in the USA are living the good life with only a simple emission pass (and safety test). Here in the Netherlands you have to pas a very strict MOT test. Your car has to be safe; things like brakes, tyres, seat belts, windows without cracks. But also clean emission, no sharp edges outside, right type of wheels, 10% or less rusted chassis, working speedo with light, not welded on subframes and no playing has to be found on any suspension part. This are just a couple rules, there are a lot more of them...

Emissions is a test you have to do every year to make sure your car is not polluting much. They measure the amount of exhaust gasses coming out of your tail pipe. If there are too many harmful gases coming out you fail.

my car passed it on the computer as both tests said pass but the aHole put ''tampered'' on it and wouldnt explain why to me.. i do admit i had old codes that i cleared after a tune up but the light never came back after i took it for a drive or during testing.

go to any auto paint store, and buy the lacquer thinner they use to thin car paint with for oil based paints.

The law in California keeps changing in a few years. Even we passed the smog check, their machines here were also checking some running parts of your car like ignition timing. Also aftermarket catalytic converter must be exempted from California's anti-tampering laws.

that's the only one I use, I get it from a car paint store, it's the stuff they thin car paint with. I was shown this method by a German mechanic ages ago, and I just know it works, I'm not a chemist, and neither was the German.

wait dude if the air is blocked then more fuel enters in the engine making it run richer and rich means more unburnt fuel in exhaust but scotty tells that it runs lean wich reduces the unburnt fuel making the engine run hot bu cleaner

@Scotty Kilmer I need help my car passing the emissions test it passed visual and all that other stuff but I took it to two smog check stations already and neither both of they're stations can't connect to read the computer on my car I drove it for 180 miles and it completed the monitors why can it work on my OBD2 scanner but they're (computers/machines) can't connect to read my car? I checked all fuses and the pins on the OBD2 port and they all seem fine? Please help me thanks!

if your scanner reads it, odds theirs can't because of some glitch in their software. Try another station and pray

Hi Scotty, I have a 2001 Dodge Stratus that runs fine but when I took it to get emissions it said I have to complete the '' drive cycle''. How is that done ? Thanks

You can do that, but that makes it rather strong, and of course bypasses the fuel injectors so they don't get cleaned also. But if cat is REALLY bad, that can clean it out faster.

Removing the cats is a stupid idea, adds pollution, has no impact in power and you don't pass emissions so you cont drive it on the road and you paid good money to make your car not legal to drive on the road.

Insurance part is not smart. That is required for a reason. It will be a lot cheaper for a person to pay a $1000 deductible and have their insurance take the rest then it would be to spend upwards of $50,000-$100,000 for new vehicles in a bad accident
