Catalytic converters
Hello my fellow CL's,
I think I have the beginning of a cat getting bad I'm getting the rotten egg smell just a real little smell right now.
I had recently used gas from a gas station I never use and I have read online that bad gas or not as good of a quality of gas can cause exhaust smells similar to a bad cat, it will give off a sulfur like smell similar to the rotten eggs typical smell.
So I have a few questions: (1) do you agree or disagree with the bad gas quality causing the issues? (2) Is there a way the clean the catalytic converters before they get bad and clog up, I have read and looked up about catalytic converter cleaners like Cata-cleaner, Lucas oil cat and exhaust cleaner or any of the other products that would be the best to use if they help. (3) Is there a way for myself to check to see which cat may be bad or going bad? (4) Finally where can I get the very best price on cats, if they turn out to be the problem, where it won't cost me the farm.
thanks to all that post.
