What are the reasons for catalytic damage causing single or multiple cylinder misfires?
1 Answers
Catalytic damage causing single or multiple cylinder misfires may have the following reasons: 1. Carbon deposit accumulation and contamination: The combustion of leaded gasoline can quickly damage the three-way catalytic converter; when engine oil enters the cylinder and burns, phosphorus, zinc, and other substances in the oil can also contaminate the catalytic converter. 2. Ceramic core damage: Long-term effects of thermal cycling and external impacts or compression can cause the ceramic core to break. 3. Ceramic core melting: During normal operation, the internal temperature of the catalytic converter can generally reach 500~800°C, with the outlet temperature being about 30~100°C higher than the inlet temperature.
