Yes a blocked exhaust will keep the engine from starting
A bad catalytic converter will cause a severely restricted exhaust system. You would notice a lack of power and performance from you vehicle and in cases of a completely blocked converter, the engine may not run.
If the cat was totally blocked, the engine may start and run briefly for a few seconds. If the cat was partially blocked the engine would run but lack serious power.
yes ,gud chance it is blocked
Assuming you mean catalytic converter, if the converter is seriously blocked the engine may only idle but will not have the power to move the vehicle. You should have a "check engine" light illuminated also.
The catalytic converter is behind the engine.
That depends on the engine and the fuel you've used. If the engine starts burning oil a catalytic converter can fail rapidly. Some fuel additives can also cause a catalytic converter to fail prematurely.
The catalytic converter is in the exhaust pipe directly behind the engine.The catalytic converter is in the exhaust pipe directly behind the engine.
If you're referring to removing the catalytic converter from your vehicle, first off this is illegal. Secondly no modern engine will run properly with the catalytic converter removed. You must have a fully functional catalytic converter in place.
The catalytic converter is found in the exhaust system between the engine and the muffler.
A catalytic converter with holes in it needs replacing. It affects not only emissions, but the performance of the engine. Replace the converter.
Yes it can
Yes, that could be one of the causes. With a bad or going bad Cataylic Converter the car will start to lose power and get hot. What happens is that the exhaust is starting to get blocked. Something like putting a partial potato up an exhaust.
