You are damn wrong sir.
I still do not need to argue about this sir.follow the simple write up there and gain something meaningful. Modern vehicles have started indicating bad catalytic converter on the CID if missing. Here is a link for you belwow to digest. When you buy a modern car remove yours ok. Have even seen a case where one was removed and car started to misfire badly

I rescanned the car and the code is P0705. Please has anyone had experience with this code. Please help
You were given an advice you ignored it. That's the source of your car problem. The park and neutral switch or inhibitor switch. Stand in front of your car look down towards transmission and locate that switch. Good luck

OK... The story got a bit twisted now and I have been having serious headache... I was supposed to go pick my car up on Friday evening. I called a family friend who sales car parts at Aba Auto Spare Parts Market. He said I can actually use a center Cat from a different car at cheap price to replace the cat under the car and the 'Y' shaped Cat... He advised I should by the original Cat for the front. I enquired from 2 other mechanics and I was told I can go ahead with the plan.
On getting to where my dear car was, I was told that the worst has happened. "Oga, I go test the car finish, brought it back for the panel beater to work on the exhaust as it was leaking, he started the car and fired it and the car gave one sound and stopped... Since then it has refused to revolve"
I was left in a confused state, weda to slap him or hit him with an iron I saw lying on the ground. I just summoned courage and left the place. Called the colleague who directed me to the guy and told him to call his mech to fix my car before Thursday or face my other side.
Am just heartbroken right now.
Where is that man talking about using mesh in place of catalytic converter. Can you learn from this man. Engine has locked up finally . Time to buy another. In case you need one I can supply you an engine grin

Already did...... but u can’t say the mesh is totally useless tho
By the time back pressure is sent back to your engine you would know how useless the mesh is

your heated O2 sensor is after your cat in these BMW, so wrong readings streight away. which means no accurate Air fuel mix ratio, you want me to go on? grin grin
Let him continue arguing blindly there. He wants me to tutor him on this while he uses his internet to go on attacking what is not.

Dat was why I asked example of recent cars you were talking about.. The term you used "recent vehicles" is very vague..

We learn everyday

I will like to know how lack of CAT will damage a recent Beemer engine... I read somewhere that Beemer engines are like "armoured tanks"
You talk about cheat Toyota and honda were you install spacers has any one installed spacers on a beemar. Pick up your books and read. I wouldn't be in the right position to tutor you through this.

Drove my car for a year with P0420 & no CAT, Installed a spacer like 3 months ago just to clear the MIL.. So experiment has been performed.. Car is 06 Accord, I guess it is not a "recent vehicle"..

No significant difference in MPG with or without CAT or spacer..
Like you said it's not a recent vehicle. Go try it on a beemar wink

Eg of recent vehicleshuh Can u please explain how missing CAT will damage an engine
Are u on the field at all or you are here for theories. I do not need to explain anything about this.... Get to the field of play and carry out some experiments.

N.B: carry out the experiment at your own risk and with your ride. Mayor never said the above grin grin

Car Talk › Re: Loss Of Power Honda Crosstour by mayor2013: 12:53pm On Apr 06, 2018
Your car problem seems to be a disaster waiting to happen. Looks like a blocked catalytic converter. Have both upstream cat and down stream cat inspected if any.all in all run a scan too and post test result here

It's actually not a new car, trying to correct the vibration is what gave birth the reducing the rpm ...
Yours is a drive by cable system. Have your engine mounts inspected first. Carry out a tune up excersise after all this you can adjust to normal factory spec if not your mecho would continue playing with your car

Yes it can.... my 2 cars don’t have, my Toyota Camry 2010 drives normal and all.... the only slight difference is that it consumes more fuel with is slightly noticeable anyway......... my advice after removing the catalyst tell them to put in a pacer or some panel beater have stuffs they forge and put inside or better still you can get a new catalyst and get it installed.
Evil advice cheesy

How much? He just changed it and got it to me... That he changed some more if it?
What's the name and price? Help a brother
Thats a continuously variable valve timing solenoid. ( cvvt). Yes it thus fail. have had to change 2 on a Hyundai Tucson 2012. This is about my second time in changing on two different Hyundai Tucson. As for the price you might need to contact your local dealer to get actual price. Is your car a DOHC (double over head camshaft) with this I can determine how many you have got on your ride

Don't buy any coolant first until you solve the problem temporarily use water as a troubleshooting process for how many coolant do you want to buy like someone who bought transmission fluid worth of 180k grin Also carry out a coolant pressure test. There could be a leak somewhere (external or internal) good luck

You want to kill an already dying engine. Safe your self the cash of doing synthetic since engine is already smoking. Check for external oil leaks. As for plugs get wet by oil. Replace valve cover seal. Does the blue smoke continuously comes out even on motion. You need to do a smoke test 101 to confirm this. Good luck

We shall get there, God give us good health.

Remember we have this now https://motorsportraceway.com/web/

So we have a Micra spec racing (cheap disposable piece of shyte) You can’t change the engine but you can modify but no turbo and has to have a certain minimum weight.

Let the games begin.

I’m sure that Uncle Gazzuzz will have a few tricks. Port and polish the intake? Bigger injectors?

Maybe be LeJeun will go the other way to make sure things don’t break. Better clutch? Stronger driveshafts?

Maybe Mayor and Nurey will go with suspension on thier entrant. Cut springs? Sway bar from Mack truck? shocked
