Catalytic Converter FAQ
What causes a catalytic converter to fail?
The most common causes are engine misfires (unburned fuel overheats and melts the substrate), oil or coolant contamination, physical damage from road debris, and age-related wear. Catalytic converter theft is also increasingly common — thieves target them for the precious metals inside.
Can I drive with a bad catalytic converter?
Short distances may be possible, but it is not recommended. A clogged converter restricts exhaust flow, robbing you of power and fuel economy. It can also cause the engine to overheat or trigger additional fault codes. Address it promptly to avoid compounding damage.
Will a bad catalytic converter cause me to fail Utah emissions?
Yes. A failing, clogged, or missing catalytic converter will almost certainly cause a Utah emissions failure. Replacement restores emissions performance and clears the related fault codes.
Do you offer a warranty on catalytic converter replacement?
Yes. All catalytic converter replacements at Murphy's Auto Repair are backed by our 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty.
