Why would an engine lose most of its acceleration power after about 15 minutes of driving?

I had the internal ceramic grid in the catalytic converter disintegrate into small pieces and go into the muffler. It would drive about five miles and then the check engine light would come on and loose power. It was a bear to diagnose.

Can brake power booster vacuum affect acceleration When the brakes are good the engine hesitates on acceleration?
no.
Why does the engine light come on and the car lose power after fifteen minutes of driving?
Have vehicle scanned to see if any codes present
Suburban loses power while driving?
Is the engine running ? no
Your 95 ford probe dies when its ran for 10 minutes why?
need more info. does it shut down while driving? shut down on decelleration? acceleration? does it sputter or is it like the key was shut off? is there a loss of power before it happens? does it restart right away or do you have to wait , and if so, how long? is the yellow "check engine" light on: Does it stall every ten minutes until it's fully warmed up?
Why does more engine power result in faster acceleration?
you are introducing more gas to the engine, which gives it more fuel to burn, resulting in more power. and engines have a certain rpm that they run best at. each engine has its own sweet spot in rpm.
Why would a 1997 Mercury Villager LS lose power and be difficult to start again after driving for 15 minutes?
At what point does it lose power? As you're driving? When you come to a stop? plugged converter
Calculate the accelaration of car by its engine power in cc and force applied by it?
One cannot "Calculate the accelaration of a car by its engine power in cc" and hence derive the "force applied by it" because, depending on the configuration of the engine varying amounts of horsepower (ie engine power) can be obtained from the same size engine. One would have to have a known amount of "engine power" to apply the "F=ME" formula and from there calculate the acceleration possibilities.
What does jerking and losing power during acceleration mean?
it means there is something wrong with the spark plugs cause they provide the energy for the engine
When air condition is on it lessen the acceleration?
Yes, there usually will be a slight loss of acceleration with the ac on. The ac compressor is turned by a belt connected to the crankshaft, causing a parasitic drain of power from the engine. At highway speeds, the effect is negligible, since the engine is turning at a steady rate.
What does trans switch on a 1988 Laredo labeled power or comfort mean?
On a 1988 Laredo vehicle, the trans switch labeled "power" or "comfort" refers to the transmission mode selection. "Power" mode would provide quicker acceleration and higher engine RPMs for more performance-oriented driving. "Comfort" mode would offer smoother shifting and lower engine RPMs for a more relaxed driving experience with better fuel efficiency.
Is V4 engine more nimble than V6 engine?
This depends on the vehicle year, make and model. In general, the V4 engine will have slower, less rapid acceleration than a V6. The V6 engine has more cylinders than a V4 capable of delivering more acceleration power to the engine. It is also important to note that a vehicle with more miles on the odometer will accelerate better than a brand new vehicle. The older vehicle is more "broken in" and will have a stronger acceleration and go.
What is the difference between power and torque?
In simple terms, torque gets you moving and power keeps you moving. In other words, your acceleration is dictated by the torque your engine provides and the top speed is limited by the power.
