With the help of a belt driven air pump on the front of the engine, fresh air is pumped into the catalytic converter via the small tubes. The fresh air helps the catalytic converter burn gases in the exhaust and clean up the emissions.

Why does your catilac converter heat up so brigth red it is a 1989 Jeep Cherokee?

I dont quite understand the question, but if it is what i think it is, then the reason a catalytic converter heats up very hot is because it is a component that uses exhaust fumes, and ehaust fumes are hot as they are the end result of an explosion that happened in the engine, therefore heating up its surroundings and making the catalytic converter hot. a catalytic converter glowing red is normal, and even in my 50cc moped (which was new) the catalytic converter glowed red, so for one in a car engine, that doesnt surprise me (far more exhaust fumes).


Where is the catalytic converter located on a 1989 Buick Electra?

On a 1989 Buick Electra, the catalytic converter is typically located underneath the vehicle, between the exhaust manifold and the muffler. It is part of the exhaust system and can usually be found along the exhaust pipe, closer to the middle or rear of the vehicle. For precise location, it's best to consult the vehicle's service manual or inspect the undercarriage.
