Yes, a faulty catalytic converter can significantly affect your Khyber’s engine performance. The catalytic converter is responsible for reducing harmful emissions, and if it becomes clogged, damaged, o r fails, it can block the exhaust gases from escaping properly, which can lead to reduced engine performance.

Common Signs of a Faulty Catalytic Converter:

Reduced engine power o r acceleration

Poor fuel economy

Backfiring o r engine misfires due to improper exhaust flow

Strange smells like sulfur rotten egg smell

Engine overheating due to blocked exhaust

Solution:

Check the exhaust system for signs of damage o r unusual pressure buildup.

Consider having the catalytic converter cleaned o r replaced if its clogged o r damaged.

Replacement costs in Pakistan: PKR 5,000–12,000 depending on the brand o r type.
