Error P0420: Caralyst Stolen? by braveheart77: 6:01pm On Feb 19, 2022
I got my car scanned and the mechanic said my catalyst has been stolen.

I have noticed the engine vibrates especially when on AC and the fuel consumption is high. Are these related to a missing catalyst converter?

Also does anyone have an idea of the best way to fix this issue of missing catalyst? Mechanic suggested i buy new one but claims its very expensive

Thanks

If that is the only error in your car, no worry.
As for vibration, you can make the mechanic check all your engine seat

catalyst does not affect fuel consumption, it is there simply to minimize harmful emissions to the atmosphere. I used the device below to fix the error code in my car and I did it myself

Yes thats the only error.

The vibration happens only when the AC is on and the car is on park, could it still be engine sit?

Does this device do the job of a catalyst or does it just trick the car?

Buy from Amazon new with lifetime guarantee and cheaper than any you can get at ladipo or owede. Bought mine 18k many years ago new but at owede they wanted to sell it to me at 38k then I checked online and kaboom saw one at Amazon and within 21 day it arrives and Jeep wants to fly like jet after fixing it. With cool freezing water dripping from exhausted pipe when you switch on your car

My mechanic said a new catalyst is above 100k

it tricks the car. the device is usually placed in the space of bank 2 O2 sensor, then screw the O2 sensor on the device

yes sir, you can scan for that later as it is not related to catalyst
