Don't Let Your Car Get Exhaust-ed

How many times have you heard someone say, "That car sure smells badly. It must have a catalytic converter." Everyone shakes their head wisely in agreement. Yet if you asked people to explain what a catalytic converter is they probably could not do it. The exhaust system and muffler really gets little attention until something goes wrong and you have to take the car in for auto repair in Ann Arbor, MI.

Engine By-Products You Need to Pay Attention To

When fuel and air are mixed together in the auto's cylinders there are toxic by-products formed. These by-products are toxic, and they are not allowed to be released into the environment until they are neutralized in some manner.

Most people have seen a car go by with dark thick smoke pouring out the tailpipe because the exhaust system is not working properly or something is wrong with the engine. Or they experience burning eyes and mouth as the car's exhaust is accidently breathed in as the car passes by. You can't always see the toxic by-products of the engine, but they are there. When you take your car in for auto maintenance in Ann Arbor, MI, one of the components checked is the exhaust system.

The toxic gases are formed in the cylinders. The gases then pass into the muffler and finally out the tailpipe. If an environmental control device is not added to the exhaust or ventilation system, the gases simply pollute the air. That's why additional controls are now installed in new cars. These controls include the PCV valve and the catalytic converter.

Dirty Jobs That Need Doing

The PCV valve actually serves many purposes. Briefly, it is a component of the positive crankcase ventilation system which routes unburned gas back to the engine for re-burning in the cylinders. By re-burning the toxic gases, less are released into the environment through the tailpipe.

Another job the PCV valve handles is reducing acid deposits and water vapor that can dirty oil and make it thick.

The catalytic converter is actually an addition to the exhaust pipe. The catalytic converter is filled with specially coated ceramic beads. When toxic gases pass through the beads, certain of those gases are rendered harmless. For example, carbon monoxide is broken down into safe carbon dioxide and plain water.

Though there are other types of emissions control units, the PCV valve and catalytic converter remain the most common. When either of these units stop working properly then it's necessary to let a professional replace it. Replacing PCV valves and catalytic converters is a common auto repair in Ann Arbor, MI.

Caring For Your Exhaust System

Keeping your exhaust system working properly is important because 1) you can get a ticket for a noisy muffler, and 2) you can't renew your vehicle registration until you pass emissions control. Getting regular auto maintenance in Ann Arbor, MI is the best way to insure your car is operating as it should.

Patch up hole in exhaust on ’94 Camry
My wife has a 1994 Toyota Camry with a very loud exhaust. I figured there has to be a hole somewhere causing this. So, when I got home today, I started her car and could tell that the noise was coming from the front. As soon as I looked underneath, I could see a hole.
