Should I let my mechanic remove my cars catalytic converter - or, what do you suggest?
No! And Yes!
If the contents of the ceramic honeycone inside your cars catalytic converter has ran so hot its melted close some of the passageways and now the engine isn't running right, replace it for under $400.
Then do this: Find and spend another $200 to $1000 with a smog tect to find and replace the leaking fuel injector, causing the extra heat to melt it - or, and find, and replace the leaky rubber air line, sensor, or valve - both of which cause higher combustion temperatures, and catalutic converter meltdown temperatures.
A blocked catalytic converter exhaust flow backs up the exhaust to mix with incoming fuel. This converter backup in idea breathing is what causes upshifts, poor performance, and uphill sluggishness.

- "What a Beautiful thing the catalytic converter is! Believe it or not!
Here's why I saaaaaaaay that. The Gov made car makers add this smog-reducing like muffler to to change gas that does not burn during combustion completely - into less poisonous gas and water with that device. Of course, the car makers could have easily designed better engines - but no, its cheaper for them to pass the buck to the government. So the Gov said, reduce exhaust pollution - not make a better engine. Hey! Isn't that the job of big business, anyway. fattening their " pocket at the expense of yours? So, to reduce poisons the "cat" converter is there.
- So, this device does help to keep our air, trees, rivers, children and older, frail people's lungs from excessive posioning.
- However, when the catalytic converter gets choked up with carbon your car will display all kinds of weird tune up type problems.
"If its plugged up, replace it - at a muffler shop; its cheaper there, and that will set things right. However...
A "cat" converter can be cleaned, and here's that info and steps.
- We sell the premium cleaner: "Mega Power Additives makes such a cleaner. You can order it here and install it in five minues.
- While the catalytic converter is $49 - to clean the dozens of engine smog related parts so they won't plug up the new catalytic converter, Mega Power combinds their Engine Carbon Removing Cleaner with their Catalytic onverter Cleaner - to return your engines ideal, stoichiometric balance - the one it had when coming from the factory.
- Cleaning of the engine and converter takes a few days of driving and in a week, burn-off of the cleaners allows for a low low smog check readout.

Catalytic Converter and Engine Cleaning
What you should know about cleaning a catalytic converter.
The problem.
After your new car warrantee expirers, your motor will have accumalated enough sticky residues and friction to have it work under an extra internal load burden - that now overloads ideal combustion levels.
With more friction and the restrictive movement of dirty pistons, valves, bearings, and gears, less power is developed, and more horsepower is absorbed along the way to speeding you down the road as fast. Your road speed from dead stop, and highway speed will drop 5 to 10 miles per hour from 70 to 65 or 60 as a result.
So, you feed more gas to the motor unknowingly to keep that speed up - and you go 20 to 40 less miles on each fill up.
You think your car is showing signs of old age, and near worn out.
Other wear and performance problems Mega Power ends.
"Not so," says George Christ, a Catalytic Converter Expert And Tune Up Teacher - featuring their cleaning additives.
- George explains: "When your body'd lungs are congestion, and have a runny nose, you just don't operate at full power and efficientcy. Its the same for your motor."
- "What you need is a very good and comprehensive medicine to clear up both situations, says George.
- I recommend the Mega Power Motor and Emission Cleaner as the best product ever invented to rid the motor of years of sticky residue buildup. and the elimanation of excessive friction.
- For 1/5 the price of a new catalytic converter, Mega Power's Treatment will show a "lower 5 gas emission exhaust test" reading.
- Exhaust 5 gas test will go from excessivly high readings to the lowest levels possible.
- Engine vacuum will climb from 15 to 25 - the level the motor had when new!
- I recommend to all my mechanics to add Mega Power Catalytic Converter and Engine Mega Power Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner Service to to all tune and repair services - as the best way to reduce car pollution and has a friction remover bonus no one else has. This combination product avoids a catlytic converter meltdown.
- Price for the service and product runs about $250 if a shop does the install - cheaper if you do so - its simple and easy. Fuel tank mileage will pay for that expense many times over.
- Some mechanics just do fuel injector cleaning, but that means 8 other dirty conditions and friction remain. Mega Power cleans all 8 areas, not just one or two.
