If a converter is bad, its usually clogged or the ceramic insides is chipping away
resulting in a rattling noise. Kinda like a baby rattle. The car will emit a rotton eggs smell or sulfur odor if the converter is bad. Clogged converter will result in the car stalling soon after its started.
Does your do this ?
My first repair would be the O2 sensors. they just screw into the exhaust pipes...near the converter
Usually, new O2 sensors will solve poor performance and gas mileage.
Some cars have more than one. These are about $30-40 dollars each.
Converters are part of the exhaust pipes that are sometimes shaped in a "H" configuration...so the whole exhaust pipe will need to be replaced that has the converters on it. Its a one piece
assembly and cost a bit more than the O2 sensors. Change or repair one variable at a time to attack the problem and be more cost effective.
Hope this lead you in the right direction !
If the Codes were Read and they Turned out to be "EMISSIONS " Related this Is Defiantly Very Possible. Also the 02 Sensor is Probably the Most Failure Prone Component in the Emissions System.I Hope Im Of Some Help to You.
Take the auto to auto zone for a free diagnosis. Converters and oxygen sensors arent cheap.
