Can a bad catalytic converter cause engine to overheat and lose power?
Yes, a bad catalytic converter can cause an engine to overheat and lose power. When the converter becomes clogged or damaged, it can restrict exhaust flow, leading to increased back pressure in the engine. This back pressure can cause the engine to work harder, resulting in overheating and reduced performance. Additionally, if the engine is not able to expel exhaust gases efficiently, it can lead to a loss of power.
Will bad catalytic converter cause you to lose power going up hill?
Yes, a bad catalytic converter can cause a loss of power when going uphill. A clogged or damaged catalytic converter restricts exhaust flow, leading to increased back pressure in the engine. This can result in reduced engine performance and acceleration, particularly noticeable when the vehicle is under heavy load, such as climbing a hill. If you suspect issues with your catalytic converter, it's advisable to have it inspected and repaired promptly.

Why is catalytic converter overheating?
A catalytic converter overheats due to an excess of unburned hydrocarbons reaching it through the exhaust stream for an extended period of time. This overworks the catalyst bed inside the converter, which then starts to become plugged, generating even more heat as it does. In short order, the converter will become a significant exhaust obstruction, causing the engine to overheat and lose power. Eventually, this will prevent the engine from running, due to the inability of the exhaust to escape, denying the engine the opportunity to "breathe"...
Why would the engine while accelerating bog down and lose power?
Dirty fuel filter, dirty air filter, bad catalytic converter, restricted exhaust, insufficient fuel pressure.
