[QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 675708, member: 23019"] jmics, you're coming to the right conclusion but not technically correct in how you got there. A catalytic converter doesn't burn the leftover hydrocarbons. It actually chemically converts the polluting molecules. To do this requires the material in the cat to be hot enough to do this effectively. Clearly if the precious metals in the cat get coated in some irreversible way in can no longer do its job. A great bit of info that dispells common myths on this topic can be found at [url]http://www.castensdynojet.com/Random.htm[/url] . A great quote from this is: In theory, a catalytic converter should last the life of a vehicle; it has no moving parts, the bricks are not consumed by the catalytic reaction and the cases of all original equipment converters are made of stainless steel, so rust isn’t a problem. In the real world, an excessively rich air/fuel ratio, oil or antifreeze in the exhaust system or physical damage can send a catalytic converter off to the great recycling yard in the sky. [/QUOTE]
