What else can I help you with?
Is a 1990 Chevy Beretta GT with bad fuel injectors blown head gasket and bad catalytic converter worth fixing?
yeah depends on miles the car is rare hard to get ahold of
99 land-cruiser catalytic converter rattles. Could it be a gasket or the converter?
It more than likely is the heat shield on top of the converter. It probably has broken loose.
Could a plugged Catalytic Converter on a 2000 Dodge Ram Truck cause a blown head gasket?
Possible but not likely.
How do you replace the exhaust manifold gasket?
Disconnect the frontand rear o2 sensor electrical connectors. Separate the catalytic converter from the flex-pipe. Remove the fasteners between the catalytic converter and the exhaust manifold. Disconnect the EGR tube from the catalytic converter. Remove band from the front of the catalytic that holds it to the bracket on the front of the engine block. Remove fasteners holding exhaust manifold to head.
How much does a catalytic converter cost for a 2006 Subaru Outback?
The new catalytic converter and gasket for my 2005 outback wagon was $830 installed at an independent Subaru specialist. Are you sure that yours is not covered under warranty (80,000 miles, I think)
What damage occurs if a plugged catalytic converter is not fixed?
The heat generated by the converter can back up into the engine and damage it. Cause it to overheat, blow a head gasket or damage the heads.
How do you replace catalytic converter on 2001 Chevy cavalier?
To replace the catalytic converter on a 2001 Chevy Cavalier, start by safely lifting the vehicle and securing it with jack stands. Disconnect the exhaust pipes from the catalytic converter using a wrench, and unbolt the converter from its mounting points. Remove the old catalytic converter and install the new one, ensuring a proper fit and sealing any joints with exhaust gasket material if needed. Finally, reconnect the exhaust pipes and lower the vehicle, checking for leaks before driving.
Why is your 1996 Cuttlas smoking?
Most likely a faulty gasket in the oil system, a faulty catalytic converter or a faulty component in the exhaust system.
What is the piece called that bolts from manifold gasket to the tailpipe on a 2000 kia sephia?
Could be the header pipe which usually contains a catalytic converter.
Can an oil leak cause damage to a catalytic converter?
Yes, an oil leak can cause damage to a catalytic converter. When engine oil leaks into the exhaust system—often due to worn piston rings, valve seals, or a blown head gasket—it can burn inside the catalytic converter. This burning oil creates excess heat and deposits that can clog the converter’s honeycomb structure, reducing its efficiency and potentially leading to complete failure. Over time, this can trigger the check engine light, increase emissions, and decrease engine performance. Addressing oil leaks promptly is crucial to avoid expensive catalytic converter repairs or replacements.
What does it mean when water is coming out of your catalytic converter?
Is it water ( condensation ) or is it antifreeze. If it is antifreeze it should be smoking WHITE out of the exhaust pipe and if it is then you have either a blown head gasket or a leaking Intake manifold gasket.
Can replacing the flange gasket to exhaust manifold clear a p0420?
Not likely because: Code p0420 refers to a problem with your catalytic converter. The engine computer is able to test that converter by using an oxygen sensor before and after the converter. The computer can only test the converter under very specific driving conditions. If the computer determines that it is a good time to test the catalytic converter it will run the test. It compares the oxygen sensor readings in front of the converter to the readings behind the converter to see if the catalytic converter is functioning properly. If it is not functioning properly it will trigger a p0420. Sometimes if a catalytic converter is on the virge of failing it may fail one test and pass the next. This will cause your check engine light to come off and on every once in a while when the test is performed.
