No cat. converter Empty
PostSubject: No cat. converter   No cat. converter EmptyFri Nov 20, 2015 6:47 pm

Hi,
 Would driving with no catalytic converter have any ill effects on the car? Mine died a while back and was removed. Much to my surprise, the second  O2 sensor has not noticed it and I don't have a check engine light. My MPG has decreased slightly. Coincidence?
 Thanks.
Mikel

No ill effects, but many states do inspections to keep cats on cars. Maybe the person who removed yours knew what they were doing and used a dummy sensor, or programmed the PCM to ignore the code.

It won't decrease your MPG. If anything, the engine will run more efficiently without the cat.
