Can a bad catalytic converter cause engine to overheat and lose power?

Yes, a bad catalytic converter can cause an engine to overheat and lose power. When the converter becomes clogged or damaged, it can restrict exhaust flow, leading to increased back pressure in the engine. This back pressure can cause the engine to work harder, resulting in overheating and reduced performance. Additionally, if the engine is not able to expel exhaust gases efficiently, it can lead to a loss of power.
