Unfortunately, I can not find my actron scanner. I had to drive it to an auto parts store this morning.
One thing I noticed was smoke coming from where the catalytic converter. It was hard to tell, since the cat is right after the manifold next to the firewall. I’ve had an oil leak in that are from my valve cover gasket.
If my catalytic converter is clogged, would it cause it to overheat. Maybe, that is my issue (clogged cat). I don’t want to just change it. I guess I would need to do a back pressure test. What are your thoughts? It was smoking really bad from the engine compartment when I drove it home yesterday (after misfiring repeatedly). It is drove fine this morning for a short trip, however.
If it is a clogged catalytic converter, wouldn’t it throw some sort of emissions code? I’m thinking the misfire just caused the cat to overheat. I’m still thinking it is an ignition or fuel problem. For some reason, I’m leaning towards the distributor. It seems like the problem exists when the system gets warmed up.
Thank you
I cracked the bleeder screw and it didn’t release the caliper. I ended up replacing the caliper and everything seems to be fine now.
