1995 JEEP YJ catalytic converter

verter. Such conditions can exist when the engine
misfires or otherwise does not operate at peak effi-
ciency.
DO NOT remove spark plug wires from plugs or by
any other means short out cylinders. Failure of the
catalytic converter can occur due to a temperature
increase caused by unburned fuel passing through
the converter.DO NOT allow the engine to operate at fast idle for
extended periods (over 5 minutes). This condition
may result in excessive temperatures in the exhaust
system and on the floor pan.
