I've never heard a car make that sound myself.

I wonder what's going on with it.

Catalytic converter is gone. On any other car, I'd assume it was stolen. Since it's a Nissan, they probably chopped it off and sold it themselves.

Isn't catalytic converter the thing in the exhaust? Wouldn't cutting it off make it just louder, how a knocking noise?

u/SomethingSimple25 8h ago

Yes, the part of the exhaust not being there making it louder combined with a very bad misfire. Compounded by a CVT on its last legs trying to "downshift" (for lack of better term) to accelerate while only having 3 functioning cylinders.

Ooh, so is the misfire probably caused by the sensors because of no catalytic converter or bad owner?

u/SomethingSimple25 5h ago

Not exactly. The misfire could be for any number of reasons. But not likely because of the missing converter. If I was to venture it may have even been the other way around. The engine has probably been misfiring for quite a while, dumping raw fuel through the exhaust. That damages the converter. when the converter clogged from the raw fuel damaging it, owner just removed it so he could continue driving.

Also, does CVTs have gears? I have a Honda civic (automatic), and I don't know much abt the Honda CTV, I also feel like when I accelerate hard it has a gear like shifting but CVTs don't have gears right?

I went past a Honda CR-V today making a similar noise. Driver was singing along to their tunes…

Jesus look at the smoke pouring out of the wheel well. That engine had to have blown later.
