Can you run without a catalytic converter?

Can? Yes. Should you? No. It is illegal to drive a car that came equipped with a catalytic converter without one. There is no benefit to removing a converter from a modern car.


Can you remove the catalytic converter on a 1997 dodge ram 1500?

It is illegal to remove a catalytic converter. The vehicle will also not run properly with the converter removed. Besides there is no benefit to removing it in the first place.


Should you cut the catalytic converter off?

Should you cut off the catalytic converter? No. But can you and will SOME vehicles actually benefit? Yes. It is illegal to remove any emmision control device from your vehicle in most if not all states. For countries such as Mexico where it is not illegal, some vehicles without downstream Oxygen sensors (after the catalytic converter) it can have some benefits. It is really the same benefit as a free flowing exhaust. Modern (97+) cars already have a free flowing design catalytic converter so there is no benefit to doing this.


What would happen if you remove a catalytic converter 2005 Chevy malibue?

Foremost this is illegal and you could be fined heavily if caught. But you would reinstall it shortly after removing it because your Malibu will not run correctly with the converter removed. You would get very poor mileage, rough running, and all sorts of performance issues. There is no reason at all to remove the converter as there is zero benefit to doing so. If it is clogged fixed the problem that caused this, and then install a new converter.

Where are the oxygen sensors located for fuel economy on a 1994 Mercury Sable?

The oxygen sensor (also known as an O2 sensor, lambda sensor, or EGO sensor) is one of the most critical sensors on a fuel-injected engine. It resembles a spark plug and is located in the exhaust manifold, or exhaust pipe, between upstream of the catalytic converter. Some cars have more than one located on the converter and even after the converter. When at operating temperature it becomes a miniature battery which generates a voltage based on the differential between the oxygen content of the exhaust gas and the oxygen content of the ambient air. By this method it measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust stream, allowing the ECM to compensate to some degree for various fuel grades, engine wear, altitude changes, usage of oxygenated fuel, and more. Another big benefit is the ability to keep emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and unburned hydrocarbons as low as possible. It is not really a fuel economy sensor per say.

Will removing the catalytic converter on 1985 Chevy truck improve gas mileage?

Theoretically yes, but not enough to notice. You would get more benefit from removing the roughly 30 pounds than from eliminating the restriction in the system. All tolled, it could be less than 1/4 mpg. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX This question can not be answered in this forum as it is an illegal act. The Federal Government mandates that the emission system on an automobile is Not to be altered or removed from a vehicle and is punishable with a fine or imprisonment.
