Which outcome occurs when fuel injectors over-deliver fuel into a spark-ignition engine running under very cold startup conditions?

💡 Explanation

Catalytic converter breakdown occurs due to excessively rich mixtures during a cold start. The rich fuel mixture causes incomplete combustion, therefore increasing hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions, which overwhelm and poison the catalyst, rather than allowing complete oxidation at operating temperature.
