What's the function of the catalytic converter?
A catalytic converter is a piece of an automotive exhaust system. The catalytic converter often contains precious metals. As exhaust gases pass through the catalytic converter, chemical reactions occur which convert pollutant gases into less harmful ones.
Is it safe to drive a car with the O2 sensor going bad?
Safe, yes, smart, no. Damage can occur to the Catalytic Converter.
Why would the catyalitic converter on a 1998 kia sportage glow red?
super heated by exhaust, your up stream O2 sensor is dead, your catalytic converter is plugged. This is serious and needs immediate attention for risk of fire to auto and severe damage to catalytic converter. If a rich condition causes raw fuel or vapor to reach the converter fire can occur. Get a capable shop to check this ASAP.
Would a bad Cadillac converter make your van spit and sputter?
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
What problems occur when your oxygen sensor goes out?
Your catalytic converter's O2 senor won't know how much pollution it's putting out just causing a check engine light usually. Get it repaired it sometimes can cost a hefty fee to get it repaired. You need to change it if you have to get emissions testing.
What does Pt over an arrow stand for in chemical equations?
Platinum, Pt, is a catalyst used to promote the reaction. Without the Pt, the reaction is very very slow or does not occur. Platinum is a true catalyst and is not part of the reaction. The catalytic converter in automobiles is an example. The platinum is not consumed, but promotes the breakdown of harmful gases in exhaust to less harmful gasses.
What serious problems can standard transmissions have?
Fluid Problems Low fluid is probably the most common transmission problem.Solenoid Problems A problem related to fluid levels is a faulty solenoid. Needle Bearings There are several problems that can occur with the torque converters in transmission systems. The first is that the needle bearings of the converter--which separate the stator, impeller, turbine and converter housing--can be worn. If you hear noises from the transmission except while in neutral, the bearings most likely are the culprit. Clutch The clutch within the torque converter can jam.
What will cause the check engine light to come on?
Any fault the computer detects, is effecting the emissions system. Repair ASAP, as damage can occur to the catalytic converter or O2 sensor, even though the car seems to run OK. The EGR valve
