A lack of power, especially at high speeds, may be a sign that the catalytic converter is going, or has gone, bad.A vehicle that stalls during idle, or idles rough, may have a blocked or bad catalytic converter. Your catalytic converter may be blocked if you experience bucking or hesitation while trying to accelerate. Additionally, your vehicle may run at a higher than normal temperature. A catalytic converter typically doesn't go bad without an underlying cause. A mechanic should be able to find the original problem and may not have to replace the converter.
