Understanding
Catalytic Converters
Modern catalytic converters are sophisticated devices that reduce harmful emissions. Understanding how they work helps you recognize when service is needed.
Three-Way Conversion
Converts carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful substances through chemical reactions.
Temperature Management
Requires high operating temperatures (typically 800°F+) to function efficiently.
Oxygen Sensors
Modern systems use multiple oxygen sensors to monitor converter efficiency and adjust engine performance.
Lifetime Expectancy
Typically lasts 100,000+ miles, but can fail prematurely due to engine problems or contamination.
Converter
Problems We Fix
From clogs and cracks to sensor failures, we diagnose and repair all types of catalytic converter issues.
Clogged Converter
Restricted flow reduces engine performance and fuel efficiency. Requires replacement.
Melted Substrate
Overheating can melt the internal honeycomb structure, causing blockage and failure.
Catalyst Poisoning
Contaminants like lead, coolant, or oil can coat the catalyst and render it ineffective.
Sensor Failures
Oxygen sensor problems can trigger converter codes and affect system performance.
Physical Damage
Impact damage or rust can crack the converter housing and cause exhaust leaks.
Failed Emissions Test
Converter inefficiency is a common cause of emissions test failures.
Extending
Converter Life
Proper maintenance and driving habits can help extend the life of your catalytic converter and prevent costly replacements.
Regular Maintenance
Keep your engine running properly with regular tune-ups and oil changes to prevent converter contamination.
Avoid Short Trips
Short trips don't allow the converter to reach optimal operating temperature, reducing efficiency.
Use Quality Fuel
Premium or recommended fuel helps maintain engine efficiency and reduces converter strain.
Address Engine Problems
Fix engine misfires, oil burning, or coolant leaks promptly to prevent converter damage.
