Reduced power output from engine due to the converter becoming restricted or clogged. This can result in damage to your engine if condition becomes severe enough. Also a restricted converter may cause other problems with exhaust sensors and/or performance related issues due to incorrect sensor input to the cars computer(s).
I believe bank 1 sensor 1 is Passenger side before catalytic converter. sensor 2 is after catalytic converter. bank 2 sensor 1 is Driver side before catalytic converter. sensor 2 is after catalytic converter.
There's no possible way to pass inspection with a bad catalytic converter, if if you find out you have a bad catalytic converter during your inspection you have a chance after you after you have replaced the catalytic converter and the inspection no no charge/free!!
No, the catalytic converter is downstream from the EGR valve so it has no effect on it.
Transmission torque converter or an exhuast catalytic converter?
A bad coil can damage a converter. If the engine is misfiring, it will cause raw fuel to get into the converter and that can cause failure.
A bad catalytic converter can cause hard starts if it has become clogged. This produces excessive back pressure in the engine.
Yes. If a coil is bad causing one or more cylinders to not fire, this allows raw unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, where it is burned. This can ruin a converter.
A bad catalytic converter will cause a severely restricted exhaust system. You would notice a lack of power and performance from you vehicle and in cases of a completely blocked converter, the engine may not run.
Yes it is possible.
No.
Yes it does.
They can become clogged or they can burn out.
