What makes the catalytic converter go bad?
Many of the compounds that make your engine oil work better on the INSIDE of the engine are also "poisonous" to your catalytic converter as your engine starts to use oil. The nice thing about catalytic converters, they burn unused hydrocarbons that come out the exhaust. You may not KNOW that your engine is burning oil until the catalytic converter gives out or even gets plugged up. Watch the oil level in the crankcase. If it drops with no evidence of leaking, it's burning and your catalytic converter will die.

Would a bad Cadillac converter make your van spit and sputter?
The ideal exhaust has no unburned gas in it. Since this hardly happens, a system to clean up air pollution was created. On the exhaust stroke of your engine, unburned fuel is forced out of your cylinder by the piston. That unburned fuel then makes it's way to the catalytic* converter. The catalytic converter basically gets hot to burn your unburned fuel and puts out the combustionally correct gasses. It is possible that your catalytic converter is the reason your van is spit and sputtering, but there are also many other reasons this could occur such as: timing vacuum fuel pressure air spark Signs that it could be your catalytic converter include: abnormally loud converter abnormally shaky converter hope this is somewhat helpful
