Yes, a bad cat can cause issues.
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.
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.
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
the answer is no . the converter would not affect just one cylinder .
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.
After the catalytic converter and before the muffler. On the passenger side about half way down. Doesn't affect engine performance, only checks to see that the catalytic converter is working. Will cause a service engine soon light to come on and possibly fail emissions. It's about a 15 min job just replaced mine yesterday.
It will cause the check engine light to stay on, and may also cause performance issues as the computer tries to adjust the O2 sensor readings to the proper level. Plus it is highly illegal
No. A catalytic converter is part of the exhuast system. This is true for all vehicles. If you have problems with you air conditioner you should have a mechanic inspect the components. Any repair will cost you at least $75USD but could cost over $500USD.
Its for Mexico OFF ROAD. not for driven in USA.
