Do catalyst converters get blocked. My panel and mechanic at different intervals has informed me that my front catalyst is blocked and better removed.

GAZZUZZ:
In most modern vehicles, when there is an engine or transmission malfunction , it displays the check engine light, this switches the vehicle from standard operating design, to one that limits power output and protects the engine or transmission from further damage that could result in continued use in that state.

You would notice things like

check 4WD

Traction off

VSC OFF

And so on.

In certain circumstances the engine would be limited to revs below 3000 rotations per sec.

Irrespective of the presence or absence of a catalyst, an engine or transmission code will cause a vehicle to run less optimally which in turn would mean the vehicle consume more than it should.

Avoid errors on your vehicle at all costs.


You can also check this thread to acquire more knowledge about devices that help detect errors.

Scan the car first and get all error codes. P0131-5 are the related error codes for AF sensor.

Note that other things can cause these codes, leaking injectors, exhaust leak, vacuum leak etc

I scanned and got. P0135, P0141 and P2185
