Yes, a plugged catalytic convertor will trigger an engine code. Quite often a plugged convertor will also cause a VERY noticeable decrease in engine performance and fuel economy.

If your catalytic converter was plugged up you would be losing power. That crack was likely the result of getting a hot piece of cast wet crossing a creek or something

Plugged cat will throw a code however you will notice a reduction in power first. Cracked manifold can be caused by the manifold cooling to fast like snow or water splashing up in there or washing the engine while the manifold is hot. The manifold can get very hot if the cat is plugged however you should notice a power issue first. I’ve seen them plugged so bad that the vehicle would hardly pull itself down the road.

We had quite a few 99-00 GM SUV's that would get plugged cats. You could just about walk faster than those things. Drop the Y-pipe off and the ran like race trucks. Fun diagnosis.

Put a hooker header on that little jewel. Get rid of cat converter. Run 3 inch pipe into a turbo thrush mooffler and out the back. Then let that pig eat. Oh yeh, put tape over check engine light on the dash. laugh

I've seen plenty of cracked manifolds that had nothing to do with temperature shock. I'd blame cheap steel castings.

I’m sure you’ll figure out something wrong with it Dave.

I hope it runs forever for you.

Are you putting additives in your fuel???? Plugged cat converters are kinda rare. The ones that do plug or restrict are due to ignoring for a long time, other problems. Then adding crazy snake oil fix it stuff...Hippie had a legit idea. Cast iron manifolds expand and contract, a lot. when the bolts don't allow movement they crack. I remember the small block Chevy V8 manifolds in the 90's that when unbolted required spreader tools to bolt back on. Or drilling out the holes and at times both drills and spreaders. In Michigan Colorado's fall apart from rust before the manifolds crack...


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!
