Plug misfire
can lull `cae
Misfiring spark plugs
have long been known to
cease fuel waste and ex-
cessive emissions. They
can now contribute to an-
other problem — a non-
functioning catalytic con-
verter.
When plugs misfire,
whether due to fouling,
ignition system malfunc-
tion, or being just plain
worn out, heat in the cata-
lytic converters rises. The
'converters, designed to
change unburned hydro-
carbons and carbon mon-
oxide into harmless car-
bon dioxide and water.
normally operate at 900 to
1,500° F. (488 to B1B. C.) .
However, should spark
plugs misfire severely, the,
temperature can be raised
as high as 2,200° F., (1,200
C) , enough to melt the
catalytic agents in the
converter and render the
unit ineffective.
Therefore; spark plugs
should be changed as part
of a regularly scheduled
tune-up.
