Hard starting, loss of power, excess fuel consumption, check engine light, and a blowing sound under heavy acceleration.
Loss of power, poor fuel economy, and converter gets extremely hot.
Transmission torque converter or an exhuast catalytic converter?
It can't the converter is in the exhaust system
I'm not sure about rhodium, but i know that catalytic converters with platinum contain about 3-7 grams of platinum per converter.
knock on the bottom of it. if it sounds like something lose like broken glass its bad
I need to know the location of the oxygen sensor 3 in bank 1 on a 2000 Chevy Blazer. Is it the one closest to Cylinder Head or closest to the catalytic converter. email address is wcannon@knology.net
A Catalytic Converter reduces unburned exhaust gasses.
Loss of power, excess use of fuel, and converter will get red hot.
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.
cos it sounds noisy!
If it was built with one, it is required.
I believe bank 1 sensor 1 is Passenger side before catalytic converter. sensor 2 is after catalytic converter. bank 2 sensor 1 is Driver side before catalytic converter. sensor 2 is after catalytic converter.
