Best Answer

The Oxygen (O2) sensors located in the catalytic converters help to keep the vehicle running cleaner. If an oxygen sensor goes bad, the vehicle might start to misfire occasionally. The catalytic converter can become plugged up if the oxygen sensor is not working properly. This could lead to the vehicle not running at all.
