Product Questions & Answers
Customer Guides
Aside from decreased power and fuel efficiency, what other problems can come from a busted catalytic converter?
A damaged catalytic converter can also affect the car's oxygen sensors, especially its upstream sensor. The increasing among of heat inside the engine bay will prevent the sensor from communicating data to the control module. Without a proper functioning sensor, the engine will not be able to adjust the fuel-to-air ratio needed to decrease emission. This causes unburned fuel to build up and eventually stall the engine.
When a Hyundai Elantra's catalytic converter is clogged or stopped-up can it still be cleaned or unclogged?
A clogged catalytic converter hinders a Hyundia Elantra from performing at its best. Once it is completely clogged, the Elantra's engine will not be able to breathe properly and eventually lead to its demise. While it may seem like the solution to a clogged cat is simple, the damage is far too grave for it to be revived and used further. Catalytic converters can neither be cleaned or unclogged and it is recommended that it be replaced immediately. Although there are temporary fixes, such as removing the front oxygen sensor or removing the converter itself, they are called temporary for a reason. Removing a catalytic converter and driving without it are illegal in most, and if not all, states. On the other hand, removing the front oxygen sensor can lead to bigger problems such as noisy acceleration and carbon monoxide poisoning inside the car. Both fixes are only meant to keep the engine running long enough to get the car to an auto repair center and have the busted cat replaced.
When the catalytic converter is glowing red, does it mean that it is already clogged?
No, it is not clogged--at least not yet. But this is a surefire sign that your cat is not working properly. The glowing red effect on the cat is caused by the increasing amount of unburned fuel in the Elantra's exhaust system. When temperatures reach over 1,500 degrees, the ceramic matrix that burns the fuel can crack and collapse. This leads to the exhaust being blocked and not able to let out the excess heat caused by the burning fuel. This domino effect of overheating, often referred to as "converter meltdown," exposes the metal parts to extreme heat until they turn red. So before the cat becomes completely clogged and the engine stalled, bring the Hyundai Elantra to a service center to replace the stopped-up catalytic converter.
