You can make sure that the converters unlimited is working on your own. In extreme cases, car services make paid diagnostics. Let’s highlight 3 main methods of checking the converters unlimited , which can cause different problems, including shaking.
When housing is deformed, converters unlimited honeycomb is likely to be damaged. In this case, an external examination will not give an understanding of contamination; it will be necessary to remove the converters unlimited from a vehicle.
The problem lies in a very difficult removal of a converters unlimited , it is not uncommon to “stick”, in which case it has to be cut off with a grinder. Having removed the converters unlimited , all the underparts of a car have to be carefully examined for gaps. If combs are clogged with dirt, they are cleaned or replaced with a new one. But the design does not always allow for an internal inspection without opening converters unlimited housing.
Very often, car owners are faced with the fact that vibration is felt in a car cabin, and often this is due to the exhaust system. Almost all cars have parts or connections that compensate for the vibrations of the engine, respectively so that they are not transmitted to the exhaust system and car body. This is either a damper connection or a muffler. Any inexperienced driver can easily identify a malfunction in the exhaust pipe, often associated with a converters unlimited .
Signs of a clogged or destroyed converters unlimited malfunction
- The car does not start or stalls instantly. The converters unlimited indicates a complete breakdown. Solution: Unscrew oxygen sensor (located in front of the catalyst). Start the engine, if the car is working, then the catalyst barrel is faulty. It needs to be replaced with a new one or an analog.
- The car accelerates poorly and the engine picks up speed slowly. When driving, it seems that the car is being held from behind. So converters unlimited cells are partially clogged.
- Fuel consumption has increased. This is also a symptom of a converters unlimited malfunction, but not always, it may indicate another malfunction, such as fuel injectors.
- Exhaust comes out weakly from a pipe, honeycombs are clogged.
- Exhaust has a bluish tint and a pungent, unpleasant smell. It means that the converters unlimited is destroyed or melted.
- When accelerating, a metallic sound is heard (as if gravel was poured) – the converters unlimited is half destroyed, the block is clogged, or perhaps converters unlimited barrels have moved from a designated place.
- “Check Engine” light comes on, low efficiency (code P0420). It may arise in case of other problems, but also signals a possible malfunction of a converters unlimited .
