Clogged Catalytic Converter Fix

With the engine idling, tap gently on each CAT with a hammer. This will break up the carbon deposits and allow them to pass through. Was stranded with loss of power and all kinds of error codes, until I thought of this. 20K later, running better than ever. Hope this helps.
