No, in general it should run even if it's quite plugged up. A COMPLETELY blocked converter would be difficult to accomplish. Maybe it's flooding. Pull a couple spark plugs and see if they're wet. Have you run a diag scan on it yet?

Yes.Yes.
Could Catalytic converters clogged on 1991 GM Sonoma truck cause it not to stay idled?
Probably not. They would have to be clogged solid not to let engine idle in which case the engine would not run at any speed. If they were semi-clogged the engine would idle but hold engine back from revving up.

I would think no way, but also no way would you pass an emissions inspection w/o catalytic converters. Here in Maryland it is a bi-annual inspection.

Will a bad catalytic converter burn gas?
Yes, a faulty catalytic converter can cause fuel consumption to raise. Replacing a known bad catalytic converter will help, but keep in mind, the catalytic converter usually does not fail on its own. converters are pretty tough, living their lives running at 2000+ degrese internally. I would check your EGR valve and EGR valve tube for blockage or carbon build up. a faulty or clogged EGR valve will overtime distroy a catalytic converter. second thing to check is your Oxygen Sensors. these sensors are the computers first reading of bad fuel mixture, if they are clogged with carbon, they can distroy your EGR valve, which inturn kills your converter.
What about leaded petrol into a unleaded car?
