Product Description
Mr. Gasket Cataclean is a fuel and exhaust system cleaner that reduces carbon build-up and cleans your vehicle's catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, fuel injectors, and cylinder heads. Cataclean does not alter fuel composition and is safe for gasoline, diesel and hybrid engines. Testing at an independent emissions testing facility showed using Cataclean can lower your total hydrocarbon emissions by up to 50 percent (performance results are dependent on driver habits and vehicle condition). Use Cataclean to fix drivability issues such as power reduction, hesitation and hard starts, as a pre-treatment before an emissions test or to extend the life of your vehicle engine. Using Cataclean may help to avoid the replacement of costly oxygen sensors or your vehicle's catalytic converter. If you have to replace your catalytic converter, use Cataclean with the installation to extend its life. Cataclean is easy to use-simply pour in your fuel tank. Cataclean is 50 state legal and complies with VOC (including California) and OTC regulations, as well as Federal low sulphur content requirements for use in diesel motor vehicles and non-road engines. For optimum performance and protection, use Cataclean four times a year. Made in the USA.

At this weekend (12/03/2016), I already drove the car for about 190 miles since I filled the gas full. I poured the whole Cataclean into the gas tank, which had a bit less than a quarter tank of gas. Then I drove on to highway. As some reviewers suggested, when there were no cars close to me, I stepped on the gas pedal hard (almost 'floored' it) to get RPM to 5K. When the RPM reached 5k, the speed of the car was about 85 miles on highway and then RPM immediately fell back below 4k and 3k itself. I released the gas pedal to slower the car. (If you do that as well, do be careful. Nobody wants to get a speed ticket on high way, right?). I did the same cycle for about 5 times on highway: slowing down to about 60 miles/hr -- flooring gas pedal to reach 5k RPM (speed over 80 mile/hr) -- releasing gas pedal to let the car slow down. After driving about 30 miles, I stopped in front of a mall to shop a while. About 15 minutes later I came back to the car and started it. You know what, the engine light was off, on its own!
I drove another 40 plus miles after that and stopped at a gas station to add some fuel. I just added 6 gallons of regular 87 gas. As I do not plan to add premium gas in the future, I did not want to do it now as some reviewers suggested. With 6 gallons of fuel, I drove more than 120 miles before I filled the gas tank again. That 6 gallons of gas gave me about 21-22 miles/gallon gas mileage, which was about right for Honda Odyssey. The engine light is still off (after driving 170 miles).
I felt the car was getting more power after adding the cataclean. The acceleration was smooth and more powerful. I did not observe any black smoke (or any kind of smoke) from the tailpipe when I floored the gas pedal. The car did not have any driving issue or noise or anything. I did not expect it worked so well when I did not see any smoke or anything coming out of the tailpipe. But obviously it helped clean the catalytic convertors or oxygen sensors or whatever that threw the P0420 code. I am not sure how long the code will be off and I will post a follow-up comment in the future. Again, the car has been maintained regularly for oil change, transmission flush, and I added sea foam to gas, oil gasket, and even brake air intake lines once every other year. However, the car was driven mostly local in the past 4-5 years. I can tell you, its RPM never reached 5K in the past 5 years. What causes the P0420 code? I do not know. But obviously the Cataclean did help at this time. Spending $16-20 on the Cataclean before you touch the expensive oxygen sensors or catalytic convertors could be a good investment. I plan to buy another bottle in case the code comes back again. Good luck to you DIY maintenance.
My vehicle is a 2004 Toyota Sienna with 137,000 miles. Check engine light (CEL) has been on for two years now. The CEL is on due to the following codes
P0420 - Cat Bank 1,
P0430 - Cat Bank 2 ,
P2238 - AF Sensor Circuit.
This year we got the registration renewal and were required to get a smog certificate. Since you can't pass smog test with CEL on, we took the van to the dealer to see about getting it the CEL fixed. The dealer recommended replacing both catalytic converters the A/F sensor and calibrate ECM. All for a cost of over $2,800.
So instead of spending the $2,800 I figured it was worth it to give Cataclean a try. I followed the directions and added the entire contents to about 1/4 tank of gas. Then immediately drove the van until it was empty. The van was not completely empty, but the yellow fuel warning light did come on and the gauge was on E. At this point I filled up the tank with premium gasoline. After filling it I immediately drove the van for about 40 miles. I was expecting the CEL to turn off but it did not.
At this point my story gets less normal than most I suppose. My wife drives this van most times and I have another car. It just so happened that my wife was sick with a bad case of the flu and she did not drive the Sienna for more than 1 week. So the Sienna sat with nearly a full tank of fuel and whatever was left of the Cataclean for 1 week.
After 1 week of sitting in the garage, I decided it was time to try to drive the van and see if the CEL would turn off. This is where it gets very weird and discouraging and expensive. I pulled out of the garage and the van barely ran at all. It felt like only half of the engine was running. The engine had very little power and to make matters worse the CEL was now flashing ON and OFF. I pulled over and did some quick research on my phone and found out that a flashing CEL is bad news. I spent the next 4 hours "babying" my car. I would drive it for a little bit and the CEL would flash. So I would pull over and let it idle next to the curb. When the engine was simply idling the CEL would not flash. I did this for hours and hours and the CEL flashing got less and less prevalent. Finally the CEL stopped flashing after about 4 hours of driving and idling. If this does happen to you, you need to be very careful. Driving with a flashing CEL could lead to really expensive damage and even your car catching on fire.
After that long evening of babying my car, the CEL never flashed again. But the car did not run correctly after that either. The car was rough at idle and vibrated a lot while it ran. And now, my car had a new code P0354. I took it to a mechanic and he replaced the #6 ignition coil and spark plug and cleaned the fuel injection system. This made the car run smooth and cleared the P0354 code. Replacing the ignition coil spark plug and cleaning the fuel injection system cost $510.
I had a lot of expensive problems after I put in the Cataclean (see above). These problems could have been a coincidence and I could have had those problems without the Cataclean. After all, it's an old vehicle with lots of problems. Anything is possible. But I don't think I will be using Cataclean again.
I cleared all codes and tried to run the monitors. For those of you not familiar, there are "monitors" which run in software on your vehicle. These monitors must be run and passed with no codes before you can have your car smogged. If the monitors generate codes, then the CEL turns ON. If you clear the codes, your CEL does go off, but your monitors are now "imcomplete" in your cars OBD memory. You cannot pass smog with incomplete monitors (actually the number of incomplete monitors allowed to pass smog varies from state to state so check with your motor vehicle department). You can find the rules for California here: [...]
So now my car runs smoothly, the Cataclean has run through the emission system and the CEL is off. I have two incomplete monitors. One of the incomplete monitors is the Catalytic Converter monitor. So I then drive the van around town running some errands. Mostly stop and go, but some highway driving. After about 50 miles the CEL turns ON and generates code P0420... very discouraging. But I did not give up. I cleared the P0420 code and decided to try nothing but highway driving at moderate speed. Just a hunch I guess. So I got on the freeway and drove. Entirely freeway driving at very moderate speed. I got in the slow lane with the trucks and probably averaged 55 MPH and for it's worth I turned my Air Conditioning off. I did this for about 75 miles. I kept checking the scanner to see if the monitor for the Catalytic Converter had run, but it said incomplete. I must have checked the scanner 30 times to see if the monitor had run. Then it happened, the Catalytic Converter monitor ran and the status went to OK with no code. As soon as the monitor ran with no code I found the first smog station I could find and got a smog certificate. YEAH!!!!
In order to do all of this I needed an OBDII scanner with me in the car to check monitors, read codes and clear codes. I used a very inexpensive OBDII scanner that I bought at Wal-Mart for $21. I think some of the inexpensive models offered on Amazon would work as well. You don't need an expensive scanner to do this. The main thing for checking monitors is a feature called "I/M Readiness Status"-- make sure your scanner can do this function.
So did the Cataclean help pass smog? Did Cataclean cause the damage to the ignition coil? Did not driving it for a week in the middle of this process cause a problem? .... I don't know. If I were to ever need to use Cataclean again, I would drive the vehicle... a lot and try to get it through the system as quickly as I could. Hopefully, I won't need to use it again.
