Here are the main reasons behind the improper functioning of your car’s catalytic converter.
- A car engine not tuned-up regularly usually begins to work outside the car’s standard specifications. This may result in mixing of air and fuel in wrong proportions, misfiring of the spark plugs, and ignition of air-fuel mixtures at wrong timings. Such conditions could cause invariable damage to the car’s converter and eventually lead to its complete failure.
- Many users of 2006 Honda Pilot complaint about extra fuel leaking into the car’s exhaust system, causing super-heated converters. If the fuel, which is normally supposed to ignite in car’s combustion chamber, leaks into the exhaust unburned, it will end up lighting off in the converter. This will cause the converter to get over-heated and eventually melt-down. This condition can be attributed to numerous factors, including improper timing, damaged oxygen sensors, incorrect air-fuel mixtures, damaged spark plugs, sticking floats, damaged check valve, and/or worn fuel injectors.
- Damaged valve seals warped components of car engine, damaged piston rings, and failed gaskets can cause the antifreeze or the oil to leak into the car’s exhaust system, resulting in eventual failure of the converter.
Similarly, cracked or worn spark plugs, improperly functioning oxygen sensors, and catalyst fractures caused by broken hangers or damaged roads can all be the possible reasons for failure of catalytic converter of your 2006 Honda Pilot.
