Examination
Check the condition of the converter housing. Connect a vacuum gauge to the suction manifold to check for internal duct contamination (see subsection 3.3.3.). With the engine warm, check the vacuum at idle. Press and release the accelerator pedal and read the vacuum again. Repeat the test four times. If the vacuum after the 4th test is 25 mmHg lower than at idle, there may be contamination inside the exhaust system or converter.
Replacement
Loosen the nuts and remove the converter
