You have to have it changed, first. Then. I would take the vehicle to a reputable repair facility to investigate the cause. It can be many different things...The average person could spend a bundle changing sensors, wires, plugs, etc. trying to fix this one! Not nessicary, a plug cat converter could just be due to old age of the cat converter... after a long time, they can wear down basically, the stuff inside em can get weak, break and clogg all on its own.

When to replace cataylic converter on 99 Saturn sc 2?

The life of your catalytic converter depends on the condition of the engine and the fuel you're using. If the fuel has the wrong additives, the catalytic converter can become plugged up. If the engine burns oil the oil vapor will build up on the catalytic converter and it can become plugged. Otherwise, if the catalytic converter isn't plugged, don't replace it.
