What does your Catalytic Converter Do? 

 

Your vehicle’s catalytic converter is a necessary part of the way your vehicle operates and performs. This car part gets its name due to its function. The catalytic converter takes toxins and converts them into less destructive byproducts, water vapor and carbon dioxide. As the catalytic converter filters the toxins it, therefore, reduces the amount of harmful emissions that your car releases. To pass state inspections your vehicle must be below a threshold of emissions.

 

 

Benefits to an Efficient Catalytic Converter

 

While technically a car can operate with a faulty catalytic converter it is never a good idea. When you have a bad catalytic converter it can cause poor engine performance, which includes reduced acceleration and poor fuel efficiency. Additionally, if you are up for an inspection, your vehicle will not be able to pass until the catalytic converter is repaired.

Signs of a Bad Catalytic Converter

 

On a positive note, the signs of a bad catalytic converter are fairly obvious. Therefore, it is usually pretty clear when you need to go get it checked out. For starters, look out for sluggish engine performance and reduced accelerations. Additionally, catalytic converters that require repairs often give off a smell of rotten eggs from the exhaust pipe or have dark exhaust smoke.
