 The process of internal combustion that happens within the engine of your Acura is an inherently inefficient process, which leaves a good portion of the fuel intact to escape with the exhaust. In order to reduce the amount of fuel that is released into the air, the Acura catalytic converter uses a chemical reaction to burn most of the fuel that is left in the exhaust. If the exhaust were allowed to exit the vehicle with the fuel intact, it could cause damage to the environment, and the installation of the Acura catalytic converter is now required by law to avoid this damage. The reaction that occurs within this part is monitored by the computer through the data sent by the oxygen sensor. As the exhaust leaves the Acura catalytic converter, the presence of a large amount of oxygen alerts the computer to the fact that there is also a large amount of pollutants in the gas.
 Normally, the computer can rectify this situation by changing the amount of fuel, in relation to the air, that is injected into the combustion chamber. When the amount of oxygen in the exhaust is extremely high, however, it is a good indication that the Acura catalytic converter is no longer working correctly. The computer will then alert the driver to the problem by activating a warning light on the dash. In our online catalog, you will find the correct Acura catalytic converter for almost any Acura, at a much lower price than the nearly identical part from the dealership. Ordering the Acura catalytic converter is very easy, thanks to the choice of using our secure web ordering process, or our toll-free phone system.
