No, replace the converter with a new one. Anything else is illegal.
No it will not run correctly. And it is also illegal to remove the catalytic converter from any vehicle and it carries a stiff fine if you are caught.
It is right on top of the Catalytic Converter.
There is one in the exhaust system before the catalytic converter and sometimes one after it.
No , it will wreck the catalytic converter , use " regular " unleaded , 87 octane
The O2 sensor after the catalytic converter.
There should be 2 (upstream) O2 sensors (one for each bank of cylinders) before the catalytic converter and only one (downstream) O2 sensor after the catalytic converter. All 3 are threaded into the exhaust system.
no and if you do it that way it is also leagle
On your 2003 Ford Ranger , 4.0 liter SOHC , V6 : Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine Sensor 1 would be close to the engine BEFORE the exhaust enters the catalytic converter Sensor 2 would be AFTER the exhaust exits the catalytic converter
Any muffler shop can do it for you. It's routine & has to be welded in. Don't go to the dealer-they will ream you.
Clogged converter, running too rich or a misfiring plug.
( 3 ) O2 sensors , according to the engine wiring schematic in my Chilton book ( 2 ) would be before the catalytic converter ( upstream ) and ( 1 ) after the catalytic converter ( downstream ) The ( 2 ) upstream sensors would be used to determine the air / fuel ratio for the engine and the ( 1 ) sensor after the catalytic converter is called a catalyst monitor
It just has ( 1 ) oxygen sensor , before the catalytic converter ( upstream )
