Yes, A hole could cause the O2 sensor to see a lean condition and add excessive amounts of fuel. The excess fuel will damage the converter overtime and cause the code.

Can holes in the exhaust manifold cause a P0420 code to be thrown?

Yes.


Why are there 2 threaded holes on the exhaust manifold of a 1995 Chevy Caprice Classic 5.7 liter but only 1 hole on the pipes that bolt onto it?

The threaded holes are the air reactor [AIR] fitting, an exhaust gas recirculation [ERG] fitting or choke stove. Check out DormanProducts.com. copmagnet95@hotmail.com


How do you remove the intake manifold on a 1988 vw jetta?

Just an update, we didn't want to take the time in removing the fuel system so we held it to the side and unscrewed the 8 bolts holding the intake in, after that it was pretty simple to detach the intake manifold and "finagle" it out. However, i did run into a problem with the chosen header going in to replace the old exhaust manifold and had to grind the outsides of the intake manifold around the bolt holes in order to make the exhaust manifold fit correctly.


How do you install headers on a 1994 Honda Civic?

well for one u have to take off your exhaust manifold.....and i believe the header bolts into the stock holes on the block.... not 100% sure...


Trying to re install exhaust manifold on a small block Chevy truckhaving hard time bolt holes off a bit?

Possible difference in bolt patterns between heads and manifold. There were two different patterns used, switching from early to late around 1976 or 1977.


What is the exhaust pipe with holes in it called?

it is called a silencer which makes the exhaust less noisier


Will a hole in the header cause smoke exhaust?

If you have an O2 sensor, your O2 sensor will not read exhaust gases properly which may cause the ECU to make the engine run rich. Yes. Holes close to the engine in the headers may also cause unburned fuel to ignite in the headers causing backfiring.


Why wont the exhaust manifolds bolt to your new motor?

Be sure the heads and manifold bolt patterns match. If they do not match you'll either have to find a set of heads that have a matching bolt pattern or look for a set of exhaust manifolds that have a bolt pattern to match your heads. I speak from experience as I once had to change over my exhaust manifold for the very reason that the bolt patterns did not match up. redneck72 - you may need a manifold strethcer... when changing the manifolds on to my new 383 strocker in my 81 3/4 4x4. I had the smae problem, so i went to napa and i bought this tool called a "manifold strether" in spreads it so it cathes all six stud holes.

Does cutting the exhaust pipes make for better gas mileage?

In theory, removing the exhaust pipes or cutting holes in them could increase the gas mileage. However, in most states it is illegal and could cause damage to the valves inside the engine.


Can the holes in a catalatyc converter cause the rpm gauge to flutter and the engine lose power and use more gas?

any hole in your exhaust system will cause the car to run a bit differently as it affects the breathing of the engine. If the flow of exhaust gases through the exhaust has changed due to the holes it could cause the lamda/o2 sensors to not receive a true/accurate reading of how the engine is running - that could possibly explain the reduced MPG (if the engine thinks the air/fuel mix is incorrect it could be trying to compensate by using more fuel)


Can you drill a hole in exhaust pipes?

You can drill a hole in anything as long as you have a strong enough drill bit and drill. But why would you want to drill holes in your exhaust? The exhaust piping is there to route exhaust gases away from underneath the car so they don't pool up underneath your car and seep into the cabin and cause a variety of health problems.
