Yes, as the cat is possibly getting blocked back pressure will occur in the engine. This will cause the car to use a lot more fuel. Cats can be tested very easily with a back pressure tester, any good workshop should have one of those
No, there are many other parts on the engine that can affect mileage but the catalytic converter is a passive device and, if new and clean, cannot affect the way the engine runs or the mileage it gets. Think of it as a filter, althought it's actually a lot more complex than that, if it lets the exhaust gases flow throught without any major obstruction then it can have no effect on the car's performance.
No.
Yes, it can affect the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter.Yes, it can affect the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter.
I dont believe it will if the converter is cracked but if the converter is plugged it definetly will.
Underinflated tires, carrying too much weight in vehicle, excessive speed, engine that needs a tuneup, brakes dragging, or partially clogged catalytic converter.
No, it has no effect on the A/C.
not really, as long as it is at the right temperature, it will not be affected
Yes, a bad cat can cause issues.
the answer is no . the converter would not affect just one cylinder .
Yes, a 2000 Chevy Impala can run without a catalytic converter, but doing so is not recommended. It may lead to increased emissions, causing the vehicle to fail emissions tests and potentially incur legal penalties. Additionally, removing the catalytic converter can affect engine performance and fuel efficiency. It's advisable to replace a faulty catalytic converter rather than remove it.
Yes, a car can technically operate without a catalytic converter, but it is illegal in many places due to emissions regulations. The absence of a catalytic converter can lead to increased exhaust emissions, which can harm the environment and public health. Additionally, removing it can cause the vehicle to fail emissions tests, potentially resulting in fines or penalties. Furthermore, running a car without a catalytic converter may affect its performance and fuel efficiency.
This is illegal. You need a catalytic converter, to prevent pollution of the atmosphere.Answerand yes the sensor behind the cat may go crazy. you might have check angine light on and performance will be affected too.
