Yes, a clogged catalytic converter can cause engine overheating. When the converter becomes clogged, it causes excessive backpressure in the exhaust system. This restricts the engines ability to expel exhaust gases efficiently, causing the engine to work harder, generate more heat, and eventually overheat. Additionally, the engine may run at higher temperatures, and you might notice the vehicle struggling to cool down. If you see signs of overheating o r experience unusual engine temperatures, the catalytic converter might be the culprit, and it should be inspected and replaced if necessary.
