To remove the front catalytic converter from a 1993 Mazda B2200, first, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Disconnect the exhaust pipes from the catalytic converter by removing the bolts or clamps at both ends. Next, unbolt the catalytic converter from its mountings, which may require a wrench or socket set, and carefully remove it from the exhaust system. If necessary, replace any gaskets before installing a new converter.
On a 1999 Volvo V70 XC, there are typically two oxygen sensors. The first one, known as the upstream or pre-catalytic converter sensor, is located in the exhaust manifold, just before the catalytic converter. The second one, the downstream or post-catalytic converter sensor, is positioned after the catalytic converter in the exhaust system. Accessing these sensors may require lifting the vehicle for better visibility and reach.
Direct to fit Catalytic Converters come ready to install with all parts pre-welded. These are better for the DIY professional. Universal converters are cheaper, but require cutting, welding, etc. These installations are best left for the shop professionals.
If your question is "Does a diesel car have a catalytic converter" then I might be able to help. Some countries require catalytics on diesels, and some US states also require them. Most newer cars and trucks will have them mounted. A diesel engine will actually run better without a catalytic, but having one will cut down on the black soot coming out of the exhaust pipe. California I know for sure will start to require smog checks on diesels. one way to automatically fail is if you have removed your catalytic converter. I've owned several diesel trucks...
Yes, a 1991 Chevy S10 truck is required to have a catalytic converter if it was originally equipped with one. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates that vehicles built after 1975 must have a catalytic converter to help reduce harmful emissions. Additionally, many states have emissions regulations that require the presence of a functioning catalytic converter for vehicles to pass inspection. If the vehicle was modified or has a different engine, local laws may still apply.
All vehicles registered in, or commuting at least 60 days into, Bernalillo County are required to pass an emissions test every two years. Part of the emissions test is a visual inspection to confirm that the vehicle has a catalytic converter(s) installed. Outside of Bernalillo County, state or local laws do not (as far as I know) require catalytic converters, but Federal law may prohibit you from removing your cats from your vehicle. Federal law requires all cars as built after 1975 to be equipped with a catalytic converter.
