Why Does a Car Have a Catalytic Converter?

If you have a catalytic converter at all in your foreign or domestic vehicle, it means you are driving an internal combustion engine car. Catalytic converters would be unnecessary on electric cars which means most of you driving the roads of Topeka have catalytic converters under the hood. So, what about them?

How you can tell when one is going bad –

 

1.  The engine is running sluggishly

2.  The exhaust smoke is especially dark

3.  It starts smelling like rotten eggs

4.  You open the hood and it is especially hot
