fouling Cat converter
My Cat converter has given me the rotten egg smell after runnin WOT.. on a few occassions.. and I"m not accelarating right.. it seems to lag till top 1K RPM ( compared to normal ).. so I"m guessing the current cat is clogged.. but I had it replaced 2 years ago.. just wondering what would cause it to foul so quick?
Only thing I can think of is a rich setting.
I"m gettin a scan tool soon to get the reading from the 02 to see if it registers if I'm runnin rich or lean.. ( well noobie to scan tool so I"ll have to find out what the norm would be and compare ) and I have no CES ( which would occur if the 02 sensor is dead )
So other then replacing the 02 sensor also.. what else could foul up a Cat converter so quick?
I"m planning gettin a hi flo cat (carsound/magnaflow), but I don't want to keep replacing cat converter every 2 years.
