Buharifan: Catalytic converter is fixed in the exhaust line to convert harmful and hazardous gasses (nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide etc. into Nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide, water ...). So, before and after the Catalytic converter are two Lambder (O2 sensors) which monitor the effectiveness of the Catalytic converter, then send the reports in the form of voltage or current as reading for the engine control module (ecm), this is then used by the ecm to determine how fuel it will allow into the combustion chamber or cylinder. 4 Likes |

phemmyfour: It happened to my vehicle which limited the engine RPM. I had to move slowly till I got a panel beater removed it. Got another at Ladipo at a whooping price of 160k. During the period my car was without catalyst, there was no difference in fuel Combustion, just more carbon deposits observed at the exhaust. Also, I noticed the soothing aroma I perceived when catalyst was there, was no more until I got another 2 Likes |

Nigerians and the funny names they give to things. How they came up with the indomie name needs to be investigated. |

Yes...o2 sensors work with the ECM to regulate fuel consumption |

Dynamicboss: Good ones. To add to that, don’t open your windows when on top speed unless necessary, don’t accelerate very harshly, do it smoothly, most cars use more fuel in low speeds and less fuel in high speed, service your car regularly, ensure tyres are well inflated, manual gears use less fuel as compared to automatic, if you have cruise control, avoid using it, it consumes more fuel, avoid driving in windy conditions unless you drive along the direction of wind. 3 Likes 1 Share |

xtivin: Therefore yes it does reduce fuel consumption. In your opinion if it fails to do what you just described, the result of the fuel consumption would be the opposite of what you just said. |

Dynamicboss: You're right...Aerodynamic drag is one of those things that increases fuel consumption. People drive at high speed with windows down forcing the engine to require more power to accelerate. 1 Like 1 Share |

Tovard: But it helps to reduce it when a car have it. I'm speaking from experience. Indomie is very important in vehicles. When my was stolen, i didn't bother driving the car twice. Cos I saw the difference once and the noise went up a bit. Normally, when I drive close to you, you might not know a car is behind you. That's how quiet my engine sound was. |

Not really ..silly NIGERIAN mechanic myth ..by the time your catalytic converter comes into play combustion has already happened |
Re: Does Catalytic Converter Actually Reduces Fuel Consumption? by cardoctor(m): 7:30am On May 28, 2022 |
Simple answer is a big YES. It's an essential component in the emission system and it's designed to reduce toxic carbon emissions and inclusive in the fuel economy and fuel management process. https://www.nairaland.com/1523351/beware-catalyst-stealing-mechanics-welders . |

DaddyFreeze2020: They once removed that of my brother's Pencil Camry. He was only aware on his way back to Abuja, his base. When he reached Abuja, he told auto mechanics there that something was wrong with the sound of the car and that he bought more than the usual fuel during the journey. He was told that the indomie of his car had been removed. When he came back to Osun state, he went to the mechanic and the culprit was identified (not the Oga mechanic but someone among them). They pleaded that the police shouldn't be involved and bought another exhaust with indomie for him 1 Like |
