Hard starting, loss of power, excess fuel consumption, check engine light, and a blowing sound under heavy acceleration.
Loss of power, and a converter that gets red hot.
It means great performe solid with power
A catalytic converter in a 2006 Nissan Frontier is a cylindrical or oval-shaped metal component typically located along the exhaust system, between the engine and the muffler. It is covered with a heat-resistant shield and may have a honeycomb structure inside to facilitate the conversion of harmful exhaust gases into less harmful emissions. The converter is usually made of stainless steel and may show signs of wear or corrosion over time.
Rough idle, loss of power, poor mileage.
NO POWER SOME MUFFLER SHOPS TEST FOR FREE
A couple of things could be wrong. number one you could have a check engine light on saying low deficiency out of parameter's. this means that the catalytic converter does not meet the right heat range. If it is to high this could mean that your catalytic converter is plugged. you Will have no power, very sluggish. If it is low you could have no back pressure, the inside of the catalytic converter is empty, this is to cold. it will cause the check engine light to illuminate. This an open loop condition. your computer goes to base settings and you will get very bad fuel economy. To high and to low will cause the check engine light to come on. you will need to replace the catalytic converter.
The common malfunction would probably clogged or resticted cat conv. Symptom would be no power, wont get up and go.
You can tell if the catalytic converter on your 1990 Lexus LS 400 is bad by noticing a few signs. Common symptoms include a significant drop in engine performance, a strong sulfur smell, or a decrease in fuel efficiency. Additionally, if the check engine light comes on, it may indicate issues with the catalytic converter. You can also perform a heat test, checking if the converter is excessively hot on the inlet side compared to the outlet side, which can indicate a blockage.
The ideal exhaust has no unburned gas in it. Since this hardly happens, a system to clean up air pollution was created. On the exhaust stroke of your engine, unburned fuel is forced out of your cylinder by the piston. That unburned fuel then makes it's way to the catalytic* converter. The catalytic converter basically gets hot to burn your unburned fuel and puts out the combustionally correct gasses. It is possible that your catalytic converter is the reason your van is spit and sputtering, but there are also many other reasons this could occur such as: timing vacuum fuel pressure air spark Signs that it could be your catalytic converter include: abnormally loud converter abnormally shaky converter hope this is somewhat helpful

Most likely a rattle from that area in the engine bay when cold that subsides somewhat when engine gets warm.
