Did anyone ever (even on a very small dose; ~2 ounces to 16 gallons of fuel) have the PO420/430 codes set from an MMO and TCW3 mixture??

Nope, never had that happen to me and I have used MMO and TCW3 in quite a few vehicles.
I have not had any problems with TCW3 either.

No problems here either.
OK, thanks all.
I ODed on TCW3, 3 or 4 ounces to 10 gallons, and the idle was rough after. It didn't help that I poured that on top of a full tank, not before filling.
Not with TCW3
In all fairness, it probably did not help the situation that I have 49 state catcons (albeit only ~7 months old), on a CARB parameter settings ECM.
So I am more likely than not borderline as far as the washcoat differences go.

Hey DD,
What kind of product were you using?
Thanks, Jim

Back when the cats in my Crown Vic were starting to drop below the efficiency threshold, adding Super Tech TC-W3 actually made the P0420 code go away.
TCW3:MMO = 1:1
5 oz cocktail per 10 gal fuel, no problem

1 ounce of Red Line Watercraft TCW3 mixed with 1 ounce of MMO, (sometimes with 2 ounces of Red Line SI-2 added at the same time, could this cause a negative reaction in the catcons/O2s, all mixed together??) to a full tank, ~16.8 gallons of either; Sunoco, Shell, or BP 93.

If my system is that borderline, could even a half ounce of TCW3, all by itself, in a full tank set these codes??

I don't think so.
I run 2 oz of Amsoil TCW3 per 5 gallons of fuel.
Good Luck and Please keep us posted as to what you find.

No codes with tcw3 here either and I have been using it for over a year. I use the standard 1 oz tcw3 per 5 gallons of gas. BTW I just got my state emissions test done and my smog rating has gone down quite a bit since my last test when I was not using tcw3. I know there are alot of differentt factors in emissions tests but I just thought I would share. To me anyways, all indications point upward for the benefits of adding tcw3 to your fuel, so long as it is propertly dosed.

I am sorry, This should have read 1 oz per 5 gallons.
Again, I am sorry.

Thanks Vikas...
But, I have a question for TCW3 users.
How do you arrive at an accurate amount to use? Provided you add it before the fuel, not knowing what the gallons used to fill your tank will be?
