Catalytic Converter: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
PROCEDURE
One catalytic converter is installed at each exhaust manifold. The body of the catalytic converter should be inspected for distortion and other types
of damage. Excessive heat can bulge or distort the converter. Since excessive heat build up is not the fault of the converter, the fuel or ignition
system should be checked whenever a converter is damaged by overheating. Also inspect for missing or improperly installed catalytic converter
heat shields.
