*This video is an EXPERIMENT I wanted to try on my car, and is for INFORMATIONAL purposes ONLY. This fix is for off-road use. The content shown in this video is not intended to encourage emissions test cheating. I enjoy the process of testing theory because you always learn something new, regardless of the outcome.
Using a spark plug defouler kit, I install a "buffer" in between the downstream oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter. Quite often, frustrated car owners get the P0420 code for reasons other than a bad cat. I have heard of people getting the code just because they removed the converter and reinstalled it. It can also happen if you run your vehicle out of gas etc... etc...
It is also common for car owners to get the P0420 code, replace the converter, and both o2 sensors-- only to have the code come back after 1000 miles or so. This can be a very frustrating, time consuming and of course-- expensive venture. Here is one way to resolve the issue. Good luck and have fun!

Explains MAF sensor diagnostic & operation. Modern MAF sensors employ a hot Platinum wire with specific circuitry to measure its current as it cools down due to incoming air. Learn how these components work. They're found in every vehicle today. Understand its operation and how to test it here.

Nissan 240sx MAF Sensor Replacement - Before and After
My '91 240sx (original ka24de engine) was experiencing "limp mode". It would not rev over 2500rpms. I replaced the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor with a brand new one from Nissan. It seemed to fix my problem

How to replace an O2 Sensor and save money.
I show you how to replace your O2 Sensor. This is being performed on a 1997 Chevy Tahoe. Automotive oxygen sensors, colloquially known as O2 sensors, make modern electronic fuel injection and emission control possible. They determine if the air fuel ratio exiting a gas-combustion engine is rich (with unburnt fuel vapor) or lean (with excess oxygen).
1995 F150 Bad TPS Sensor???
Watch around 2:20 and it will give you a good example of whats going on. Basically when I accelerate it takes off like normal, starts to bog way down like its gonna stall, then out of nowhere takes off like I pressed the gas pedal to the floor. Anyone ever have this problem? UPDATE: had the CE light scanned and it read faulty O2 sensor / insufficient EGR flow so I think I found the problems. This only seems to happen when it rains though, then it runs normal again when its dry out so I'm lost.
