Best Answer

It probably overheated due to misfiring or poor condition of engine tune. This overheating causes the internal core of the converter to break up and rattle.

Replace the converter but make sure the engine is tuned up properly and firing on all cylinders.

Can a 1996 Ford Taurus run without a catalytic converter where is the o2 sensor at?

Yes, the Taurus can run without the catalytic converter--it is not necessarily good for the engine, but disconnecting it will cause it to fail emissions testing. If you've seen the Honda Civics running around smoking like a factory, this is caused by no electrolytic converter. The O2 sensor could be in the exhaust pipe between the manifold and converter.
