Signs that your catalytic converter may be going bad
One of the first signs that your catalytic converter may be going bad is that your engine will start to perform stigmatically. You may suspect that your engine does not have the required power to drive your vehicle when this is simply not the case. It has more to do with the state of the catalytic converter than it does with the engine. Which brings us to the next point: You may notice that there is reduced acceleration and that your car simply does not have the pull that it usually has when you put your foot on the pedal. This is something that can easily be misdiagnosed. You need a professional to look at your vehicle to determine if the catalytic converter is in fact the problem.
