How many catalytic converters are on a 2000 Chevy Astro van?

The number of catalytic converters on a 2000 Chevy Astro van depends on the engine type and emission system configuration. The 2000 Chevy Astro van was available with two engine options: a 4.3-liter V6 engine or a 4.3-liter V6 engine with an extended range fuel tank. If the van has a standard 4.3-liter V6 engine, it would have one catalytic converter located in the exhaust system. If the van has an extended range fuel tank, it may have two catalytic converters, one located in the exhaust system before the fuel tank and another located after the fuel tank. However, it's important to note that the number of catalytic converters on a vehicle can also depend on regional emissions regulations and other factors, so it's always best to consult the vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic to confirm the number of catalytic converters on a specific vehicle.
