How to Identify a Clogged Catalytic Converter?

[JulianaLynn]

Here are the symptoms of a clogged catalytic converter: 1. Increased fuel consumption. 2. Reduced engine power. 3. High-temperature sintering and clogging may occur at the front end of the catalytic converter. Inspection methods: 1. Check whether the voltage of the front and rear oxygen sensors of the catalytic converter is consistent. If they are the same, it indicates the catalytic converter is damaged. 2. You can also place your hand near the exhaust pipe to feel if there is airflow; if not, it indicates a blockage. Below are the functions of the catalytic converter: 1. The catalytic converter is an important device used to control harmful gas emissions, primarily in gasoline engines. 2. The term 'three-way' refers to toxic substances in exhaust emissions, such as carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and sulfides. The catalytic converter transforms these toxic substances into non-toxic, harmless emissions.
