The vehicle will no filter harmful emission such as hydrocarbon, nitrogen and carbonmonoxide gas. Fuel mixture and Combustion takes place inside the engine (cylinder, valve, etc)

You need to find the street name of that catalytic converter else men no go know wetin you dey talk About

Tovard:
Nothing of such. It is an Africa mentality and the car mechanicals who have embedded the ideas into our head.

Removing car catalyst doesn't increase fuel consumption.

Dynamicboss:


It will only increase CO emission to the air hence causing more carbon deposits at the exhaust system of the vehicle

I belong to international lexus forums and catalytic converter does not impact furl consumption rather it worsens it by creating a back pressure when it's clogged.

GAZZUZZ:
In most modern vehicles, when there is an engine or transmission malfunction , it displays the check engine light, this switches the vehicle from standard operating design, to one that limits power output and protects the engine or transmission from further damage that could result in continued use in that state.

You would notice things like

check 4WD

Traction off

VSC OFF

And so on.

In certain circumstances the engine would be limited to revs below 3000 rotations per sec.

Irrespective of the presence or absence of a catalyst, an engine or transmission code will cause a vehicle to run less optimally which in turn would mean the vehicle consume more than it should.

Avoid errors on your vehicle at all costs.

Car experts,

Please how true is this assertion?

The catalytic converter doesn't directly affect fuel economy, what actually affects fuel economy is the 2 oxygen sensors, one located before it and the second on it.

Using my car as example, the first Oxygen sensor is called Air/fuel ration sensor. This is the most important sensor with regards to fuel economy regardless of whether the CAT is there or not. It's job is to measure the level of oxygen in the exhaust gases before the CAT. High oxygen means more fuel is required (lean) and low oxygen means too much fuel (rich). The normal oxygen called stoichiometric ratio is 14.7:1, that is 14.7 parts oxygen to 1 part fuel.

This sensor is responsible for maintaining this ratio and is called fuel trim.

The effect of disconnecting this sensor is called open loop, where the ECU supplies fuel based on standard set values which otherwise will be supplied by the Airfuel ratio sensor in a closed loop. This standard values ensures delivery of fuel enough for all situations, this is sometimes higher than required so the car consumes more fuel.

The second oxygen sensor (downstream) is responsible for checking the catalytic converter function and is used my the ECU to make fuel trims that will be efficient and minimize harmful emissions.

How can one correct and turn off the lights for:


Traction off

VSC off

HazzanTazzan:


And no indirect effect on fuel consumption
You people sef ...

U go dey speak English but people who have had first hand experience tell you what they have seen and how they solved it by buying a new catalytic converter but you still come here to claim something else ...

Benz4pimp:
I once bought an Honda EOD,very clean and cheap,it was sounding like a sport car.would buy 4k fuel and it would finish within 2 days and I didn’t go far….they told me they had eaten the akara of the car.akara is the street name for catalyst…I bought another around 35k and it fuel consumption went back to normal…..panelbeater plenty for police station accused of stealing that stuff

gaby:
Okay...

Indomie bah?

ikevictor:


Lol...go buy fuel oga

How can one turn off the following dashboard lights on a Lexus SUV:


Traction off

VSC off

franchasofficia:
wow interesting.


How can one check if the oxygen sensors are working optimally ?
