The 2005 Chevy Equinox catalytic converter problems reported are sluggish engine performance, reduced acceleration, and dark exhauSTSmoke. The smell of sulfur or rotten eggs from the exhaust and excessive heat under the vehicle are signs of catalytic converter failure. There are many reports from owners of premature catalytic converter failure. A catalytic converter is an exhaust emission control device that reduces toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine into less-toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction (an oxidation and a reduction reaction).If Your catalytic converter is too badly clogged that's going to decrease Your engine's ability to perform the way You expect it to. That's because Your engine won't be able to vent exhaust the way it normally does. After all, the converter is clogged for venting the natural flow of gases.
