A catalyst converter is an emission control device within the exhaust system that lessens certain transmitters in the gas of fumes. There are two forms of converters: oxidation converters and reduction converters.Oxidation converters decrease unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) by adding oxygen to the exhaust stream so as to convert them into water vapor (H20) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Reduction converters diminish oxides of nitrogen (NOx) by way of shedding oxygen thus premeditating them to nitrogen (N) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Three-way catalysts or TWCs refer to catalytic converters which have both types of catalysts in one assembly. Some vehicles have one TWC, while others have a Warm-Up Three-Way Catalyst (WU-TWC) and a TWC. The effect on intake vacuum due to blocked exhaust can be diagnosed using a vacuum gauge for checking a restricted converter. Thus, when its exhaust systems are restricted, then the catalytic converter could be plugged or it could be a restriction in either its exhaust pipe or muffler. When swapping out your catalytic converter ensure that you follow the specific removal and installation procedures for your vehicle model.
