← ScienceWhich consequence results when a catalytic converter is contaminated?
A)Increased hydrocarbon and CO emissions✓
B)Reduced engine compression ratio occurs
C)Higher coolant temperature will happen
D)Decreased fuel injector pulse width
💡 Explanation
Hydrocarbon and CO emissions increase when a catalytic converter is contaminated, because catalytic poisoning deactivates catalysts like platinum within the converter, therefore the oxidation of CO and hydrocarbons is inhibited, rather than converted to less harmful substances.
