Yes, a catalytic converter can cause a vehicle to vibrate and stall. It will do this when it gets plugged because it causes the fuel mix to be disturbed.

Why would turning on the air conditioner cause the catalytic converter to rattle?

AnswerTurning on the air conditioner causes increased engine load. This load can trigger a faulty ignition part to cease operating, resulting in a misfire and vibration. If there is an internal problem with the catalytic converter or the heat shield is loose it will vibrate. Note that misfires greatly accelerate the death of a catalytic converter. More likely (if this is a GM truck) is bad valving internal to the Air Conditioning Compressor. It varies load so quickly that the belt tensioner shakes violently and that creates both a noise and a vibration.another answerIt could be the clutch on ur a/c that is rattling have it checked

96 Pontiac Bonneville changed plugs plug wires few weeks ago due to engine miss ran good for the past few weeks however today it started missing again and check engine light came on Any Suggestions?

Make sure that the spark plug boots are firmly seated into the heat shields on the rear plugs. They can vibrate loose if not firmly seated.


Why does the catalytic converter rattle when you accelerate?

Catalytic Converters get very hot, so there is a thin, sheet-metal heat-shield welded to the outside of the CC's housing to reduce chance of starting fires and transfering heat through the floor-board. The constant heating and cooling, expanding and contracting of the CC's housing causes fatigue at the welds and sometimes one will break. Engine and exhaust vibration cause the now unsupported corner of the heat shield to vibrate against the CC, causing a buzz, rattle, or hum.
