Automobiles have come a long way since the days of the gas-guzzling, pollution-spewing classic models. Today’s cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs are designed with economy and environmental safety in mind. A large part of keeping your vehicle from polluting the air is handled by your Chevrolet Venture catalytic converter.
Part of your vehicle’s exhaust system, the Venture catalytic converter is a highly specialized honeycomb filter that hangs out in an enlarged section of your exhaust pipe. Your catalytic converter contains small amounts of platinum, rhodium, and palladium, which serve to create a chemical reaction with the exhaust leaving your cylinders.
The exhaust waste from your engine contains toxic pollutants such as nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide. When these molecules enter your Chevrolet Venture catalytic converter, they are smashed and re-formed through a reaction with the precious metals embedded in the walls of the filter, so that environmentally safe compounds like nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor are emitted from your tailpipe. It can be hard to tell when your Venture catalytic converter is on the blink, since you cannot see pollutant molecules. However, some of the signs of a faulty catalytic converter include foul-smelling exhaust, a decrease in fuel efficiency, and rough engine running. In most cases a bad Chevrolet Venture catalytic converter is detected during an emissions test or when you are having other exhaust work done.
