A vehicle catalytic converter.

The combustion process produces dangerous chemicals like carbon monoxide, which increase air pollution. Your Ford’s catalytic converter converts these toxic chemicals into harmless ones, reducing pollution by up to 99%. A converter can wear out or become damaged, and your car’s emissions will rise. Your Ford dealer can repair or replace the converter for you, and these are some signs the converter is failing.

Thick Black Smoke

Black exhaust smoke is a highly visible sign of a problem, as it means the converter isn’t working. The smoke has a foul, acrid smell due to the presence of unconverted combustion byproducts. There are several reasons for a converter failure. The most common causes are the converter has failed due to age or damage due to another engine problem.

A converter has a long life of approximately ten years, after which it will gradually wear out. Engine problems like a high fuel-to-air ratio can lead to converter damage. A fuel-rich engine reduces combustion efficiency and prevents much of the fuel from igniting. Hot, unburnt fuel is dumped into the converter, which can overheat the converter and cause it to fail. We’ll examine your converter and repair or replace it.
