    Melted/ Wasted Catalytic Bank 1?

    3rd cat. ( Sorry about the quality. Inspection cameras don't have HD or DVD quality) Melted honeycomb Fragments from melted Cat on bank 1 So I vacuumed out pieces of the cat from bank 1 that were sitting at the 3rd cat. And as you can see the 3rd cat was plugged up. The car was...

    Melted/ Wasted Catalytic Bank 1?

    A 3rd cat, what a waste of money. Well, my brother didn't wanna spend any more money on it so he opted to gut it out, so we did. He don't care about fumes this and that. As long as we don't get a p0420, then we're good. Thanks for the info. Back in my more active car days we used to gut those...

    Melted/ Wasted Catalytic Bank 1?

    So today I got a chance to work on it. Last time I plugged my vacuum gauge to engine vacuum and vacuum was a mere 9 mmHg at 3-4K RPM's. So today I unhooked the exhaust right after the cats and there was full vacuum. So a plugged exhaust is the issue. So the restriction is after both cats. There...

    I'd have to get the engine cover from my brother. It's pretty loud without it as you can see in the vid. Thanks for the vids and tips.

    Melted/ Wasted Catalytic Bank 1?

    Yeah, it just sounds way too noisy to be normal but I've seen the strangest things. Thanks for the emissions info. I'm in the quest for a repair manual so i can get some fuel pressure numbers and some info here, otherwise I'm running ***** here. Would just suck if it's normal and we spent the...

    So that is the high pressure pump huh, ok good to know. So, it has 2 then, that one and the in-tank fuel pump then. I uploaded the video via youtube this time instead. Here's the link:

    So this is the port I hooked on to. And this is what I was calling the regulator which Ford states it's not. Ford says the FPR sits right on the rail which btw you can't even get to unless you pull the top plenum off or so I believe. And this is the vid of what it sounds like with the plug...

    Yes, correct, that's the rattle I hear. Just waiting for the weekend to take the exhaust apart. Need to build up some vacuum somehow...

    Not sure that it went anywhere. Anytime I rev it. I hear rattle inside the exhaust somewhere. I'm thinking it's plugging the exhaust if my vacuum gauge reading drops to a mere 13 or so inches of vacuum. I'm gonna disconnect the exhaust just past the cats and see if the reading improves.

    The needle fluctuates very unsteadily at least 20psi in either direction. Normally fuel rails that dampeners in the rail that get rid of pump pulsation and that's why I'm saying this can't be normal...? As far as the pressure I guess then it might be ok. In older vehicles we used to unplug the...

    Melted/ Wasted Catalytic Bank 1?

    So I got some time to look at it. The car really has no power, even after the new cat was put on. I should say the car had more power when the new cat was installed (bank 1). But after a while it got worse and no codes still. Anything over 20% throttle it just chokes on itself. And it's not the...

    Melted/ Wasted Catalytic Bank 1?

    So my brother dropped off the car now I own the damn car till I fix it. :cussing:Not that it won't be quite an adventure but I'm so busy with my jobs that have no time to own this car now. But I did get a chance to drive it. If you take off very very slowly, you won't notice there's a problem...
