  • Catalyst temperature drop (Considering that the actual efficiency of the catalyst is when the temperature rises and it is even possible to approach the limit of 700 and 800 degrees, so the catalyst that after a while driving and warming up the engine has not yet reached its ideal temperature) It is defective Of course, the way to detect the temperature of the catalyst requires a device called an (infrared thermometer).
