Mazda Protege Catalytic Converter
Mazda Protege Catalytic Converter prevents the production of harmful gases, transforming them into much safer ones, and allows the compact sedan to remain legal and environmentally friendly. Within its steel casing lies a ceramic honeycomb covered in platinum, palladium, and rhodium catalysts, and as exhaust moves through it, these metals react to convert carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water respectively, removing the oxygen in nitrogen oxides to make simple nitrogen. Any Protege year uses this type of three-way honeycomb construction, as opposed to the older two-way units, so there is little difference in style across production. The part is very robust, but engine troubles may spoil it. Misfires, a rich mixture of fuel, or leaks that allow oil or coolant to enter the chambers overheat or glaze the substrate, blocking conversion. A plugged Catalytic Converter accumulates backpressure, robs horsepower, damage fuel economy, and even prevents engine start. The shell may also be dented by road debris, and a rattling sound is a frequent indication of internal breakage. Other red flags are the dashboard Check Engine Light and a failed smog test. The only solution to light carbon is to bake it sometimes using a brief retardation of injection timing by Mazda drivers, but once the matrix has melted, the only solution is to install a new Catalytic Converter. Early reaction to the warning signs and maintenance of the whole Mazda powertrain in tune safeguard this important Mazda emission device and ensure a cleaner local atmosphere.

Mazda Protege Catalytic Converter Parts and Q&A
- Q: What should you consider before replacing a catalytic converter due to federally-mandated extended warranty coverage on Mazda Protege?A:Since the federal government has issued an extended warranty on emission related parts such as the catalytic converter, it is prudent to seek the advice of a dealer service division before making any expenses mattering towards any replacement. A three-way catalyst system has been installed in vehicles which are aimed at minimizing the emissions of hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen, through the transformation of these toxic gases into non-toxic nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water. The catalytic converter is fitted in the exhaust system in a similar position as that of a muffler and in models that were manufactured after 1997, it has normally two converters one at the exhaust manifold and the other one underneath the vehicle. The mating flanges and bolts of the catalytic converter should be looked into on a regular basis to check the absence of loose bolts and leaks. Secondly, the catalytic converter protector is to be inspected on dents or any form of damage because any major dent touching on the converter requires the shield to be replaced. One should also check the heat insulator whether it is damaged or not and ensure that clearance between it and catalytic converter is good enough. In case of replacement of the catalytic converter, proper procedures must be undertaken.
