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.
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.
Yes, you can bore out a catalytic converter, which involves removing its internal components to improve exhaust flow. However, this process is illegal in many places as it effectively disables the catalytic converter's function of reducing harmful emissions. Additionally, modifying or removing emissions control devices can lead to penalties and may affect vehicle performance and compliance with environmental regulations. It's advisable to consider legal alternatives for performance improvements instead.
No, it has no effect on the A/C.
Yes, a clogged catalytic converter can lead to fouled spark plugs. When the converter is obstructed, it can cause increased exhaust backpressure, leading to incomplete combustion and unburned fuel entering the exhaust system. This excess fuel can then accumulate on the spark plugs, resulting in fouling, which can affect engine performance and efficiency.
not really, as long as it is at the right temperature, it will not be affected
The 2008 Honda Fit is equipped with two oxygen (O2) sensors: one upstream (pre-catalytic converter) and one downstream (post-catalytic converter). The upstream sensor helps monitor the air-fuel mixture, while the downstream sensor checks the efficiency of the catalytic converter. If either sensor fails, it can trigger a check engine light and affect vehicle performance.
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.
