Dahreformer2666: Common reasons for this to happen: Dirty Oxygen Sensor: An oxygen sensor measures exactly how rich or lean the exhaust gases are when they leave the combustion chamber. The data is used by the vehicle computer to adjust the amount of fuel entering the engine. If the sensor is dirty or failing it can lead to a drop in miles per gallon. It can also lead to failed emission tests and a rough idle. . Dirty Fuel Injectors: Fuel injectors spray fuel into the cylinders where it is mixed with air and ignited. Over time the fuel injector system can become clogged. This can lead to a drop in fuel efficiency as well as slow acceleration and the car not having enough power. If caught early, simply cleaning the injectors can solve the problem. As it progresses, the injectors may have to be replaced. Bad or Dirty Spark Plugs: Spark plugs ignite the fuel in the combustion chamber. If they are dirty or working incorrectly, it can cause the engine to misfire, leading to poor engine performance. This can lead to a lack of power as well as a big decline in fuel efficiency. Misaligned Tires: Tires that are low or out of alignment can lead to a drop in fuel efficiency. Checking the tire pressure and have the alignment checked on regular basis can help prevent this problem.... Defective Fuel Pump: Fuel delivery issues can drastically affect fuel efficiency. The fuel pump pulls fuel from the gas tank to the fuel injectors. The fuel pump can become clogged or malfunction. A bad fuel pump can lead to a rough running engine because it is not getting enough fuel. This will lead to a decline in gas mileage. If this issue is not addressed it will lead to a rough, idle, sputtering and stalling. Clogged Fuel Filter: A clogged fuel filter will also cause problems with gas mileage. The fuel filter screens out contaminants in the fuel, and over time it will become clogged. Fuel filters need to be replaced periodicall How it's done: A mechanic will inspect your fuel injectors, spark plugs, airflow sensor, tires and other important components to reach an accurate diagnosis. It may be necessary for the mechanic to test drive the car to produce acceptable results and pinpoint the source of the problem. How important is this service? A few of these issues are easy to fix but others are an indicator of a much more serious problem. Issues related to the fuel system will eventually lead to a rough running engine, stalling, and a car that won’t start at all. 4 Likes |

[quote author=Kassiny post=114652604] Dear Gazzuzz, I experience same error code on camry 2008 V6. 2gr-fe. Fuel cap already changed.. Same code still pop up. Dear Gazzuzz pls ] P0420 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)". This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation. . (Common causes of the P0420 code?) Damaged muffler or leaks in the muffler. Damaged exhaust manifold or leaks in the exhaust manifold. Damaged exhaust pipe or exhaust pipe leaks. A misfire in the engine. Oil contamination in catalytic converter. Faulty catalytic converter (most common). Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor. Faulty front oxygen sensor. Faulty rear oxygen sensor. Damaged oxygen sensor wiring. Oxygen sensor wiring that is not properly connected. Damaged oxygen sensor connectors A leaking fuel injector. High fuel pressure. Use of the wrong kind of fuel (using leaded fuel instead of unleaded fuel) 4 Common symptoms of a P0420 code: Though there are often no noticeable symptoms of a failure within the catalyst system, including drivability problems, there are 4 common indicators of the P0420 code: 1. Check Engine Light is on. Many things can trigger the check engine light to turn on . A mechanic will need to use a diagnostic tool to read the code and pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. 2. Lack of power after vehicle warms up. The engine will not run as well and may not provide enough power for acceleration. 3. Speed of vehicle may not exceed 30-40 mph. This may cause issues when driving along highways and freeways with higher speed limits, though you may not notice the symptom if you drive slower through mostly-residential areas. 4. Rotten egg smell coming from the exhaust pipe. This smell occurs from the incorrect amount of oxygen in the catalytic converter, which leads to excess sulfur in the fuel tank, creating the odor from the exhaust system. . Keep in mind: Problems with the ignition system, fuel system, air intake, and misfires can damage a catalytic converter if they are not addressed quickly. These components are most the common causes of the P0420 trouble code. Our certified and qualified mobile mechanics can come to your home or office to perform the Check Engine Light diagnostic . . Once we are able to diagnose the problem, you will be provided with an upfront quote for the recommended fix 1 Like |

Hi guys, Good evening I have a question So since I bought my rx350 over 6months ago I have frequently been fixing the exhaust of the car due to the unusual sound I hear while driving, but it’s bothering me now cause I’m about to fix it again for the 4th time, my mechanic made mention that some catalyst are missing in it. I quite didn’t get what he said at the time, but I made my research about it afterwards. My question is has anyone had a similar experience And how were you able to fix your car. (Lexus rx350) Hope to hear from you guys soon, and God bless you all. 1 Like |
