@xxioryyagamixx I suggest you look up the O2 sensor videos on this channel. they cover everything you need to know. Let me know if you have more questions afterwards... Thanks for posting...
PS. There is a way to detect a faulty BABY converter, but it's not easy. We developed this technique a few years back. Maybe I'll post more on the matter later...
@TRcustomengineering Yes, let me explain. I know what you're referring to. That wasn't a catalytic converter. It's called an HC trap. These are found after the baby cats, but under the vehicle. They look like regular old fashioned converters. They operate in a different way. All they do is absorb the unburned fuel (HC) during rich operation and then release and burn the HCs when the engine runs normal or leaner. HC traps can get clogged and rendered useless if the mix runs rich for too long.
@TRcustomengineering Most HC traps are on Diesels, since Diesels operate at general cooler temps. But, HC traps are also found on gas vehicles as well, most on baby converter vehicles. These baby cats are now almost used exclusively. The newer vehicles have dual-baby-cats right at the exhaust and dual front O2 sensors. The cats are replaced by unbolting a 3 bolt flange. Very easy to replace. The idea is the closer to the exhaust, the less converter honeycomb material needed. Thanks for posting.
Funny how you had a Fiesta in your shop. Last week i worked on a 94 Festiva! Haven't seen one of those cars in almost 10 years. Anyway it had a coil wire arching causing a misfire. Couldn't believe, it wasn't even rusted out. Must have come from down south...
@audiomannn The Fiesta engine, so called Ztec, was designed by Yamaha. It is sold worldwide as a fuel efficient powertrain and competes against other small engines. You'll probably be seeing lots of them in the future due to high gas prices. Thanks for posting....
man i love your videos thanks for posting

do you have a graph on how the rear O2 sensor should work????
am interested on seeing it

Well done.
I've seen small catalytic converters like that before on some vehicles.
Do any cars have two catalytic converters? Cause one time i saw something that looked like a baby catalytic converters and then a normal looking one.
I believe it was on a Audi but it was a while ago so i don't remember 100%.

@ADPTraining Ok, Thanks for explaning.
I looked up a HC trap and it looks like there just on Diesel vehicles, Is this true?
Thanks again

@ADPTraining Cool.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I'm not to up to date on newer emission systems so i appreciate it.
