Is There Any Danger in Emission System Malfunction?

[Tate]

Emission system malfunction is dangerous, and the following are the possible impacts of emission system malfunction: 1. Affects fuel consumption and reduces engine lifespan: It will affect fuel consumption, and over time, poor combustion can lead to excessive carbon buildup, though it does not directly cause immediate engine damage. Engine emission system malfunction can affect the safety of the vehicle during operation and reduce the engine's lifespan. 2. Increased exhaust resistance: During vehicle use, due to faults in the fuel supply system, ignition system, etc., engine overheating can cause the three-way catalytic converter substrate to sinter or peel off, increasing exhaust resistance. 3. Environmental pollution: Due to the use of fuel or lubricating oil, the catalytic converter may become poisoned and its activity may decrease, affecting catalytic conversion efficiency. Sulfur and phosphorus complexes and deposits may form inside the three-way catalytic converter, leading to deterioration in vehicle performance, reduced power performance, increased fuel consumption, and worsened emissions.
