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.

What is a disc osteophyte bar?

An osteophyte is a bone spur that forms usually because of damage to the surface of a joint, resulting in arthritis. A disc osteophyte occurs in the disc space between two vertebrae of the spine.

What can cause a peripheral artery disease?

One of the major causes of peripheral arterial disease in the developed world is diabetes mellitus. This condition, if blood glucose levels are not well controlled, is associated with peripheral arterial disease which characteristically effects the kidneys and the retina of the eye. Damage to the micro-circulation occurs as well as disease of the larger vessels. Such processes lead to damage of the peripheral nerves, leading to anaesthesia (total numbness).Elevated serum levels of LDL-Cholesterol are also associated with damage to the peripheral arteries. Other causes include tobacco smoking.One of the most important causes of Peripheral Artery Disease is said to be Atherosclerosis which mainly occurs when the fatty deposits build up in the walls of your artery and as a result could reduce the blood flow in the body. The least common cause of Peripheral Artery Disease is said to be blood clotting in the arteries, injury to the limbs.

What is an oxygen sensor used for?

The oxygen sensor reports live information about the engine's air/fuel mixture to the powertrain control module, (Computer). This information is used primarily to help calculate fuel delivery to the engine, which changes continuously while it is running. If the engine is running lean, the powertrain control module will sense this from the oxygen sensor's signal and increase the air/fuel mixture to the engine. Conversely, just the opposite occurs when the engine begins to run rich. On OBDII-equipped vehicles, the sensors are also used to help determine the efficiency of the catalytic converter. The powertrain control module does this by comparing the signal of the sensor located at the inlet of the catalytic converter with the signal of the sensor located at the outlet of the converter.
