1. Oxygen Sensor Spacer: This is a device placed between the oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter. It can help the engine think the catalytic converter is working correctly, reducing emissions temporarily.
2. Catalyst Cleaning Additives: These additives are poured into the fuel tank and can help loosen and remove carbon buildup from a clogged catalytic converter.
3. Mechanical Removal of Deposits: If the clogging is severe, removing the catalytic converter and physically removing the deposits may be necessary. However, this should be a last resort as it can potentially cause damage or affect the vehicle's emissions control system.
It's important to note that these are temporary solutions, and replacing a faulty or damaged catalytic converter with a new one is the best long-term solution. Additionally, tampering with emission control systems may have legal implications, so check local regulations before attempting any fixes.
