Environmental psychology addresses environmental problems such as density and crowding, noise pollution, sub-standard living, and urban decay. 1  Noise increases environmental stress.
Hayapower is correct. The tube from the converter is for the smog pump (air injection) for the catalytic converter. The EGR tube comes off the passenger side exhaust manifold. Disconnecting the tube from the converter will not hurt if you remove the conveter and close off the tube end or leave it open.If you leave it open then at times you will hear a pumping sound from the tube caused by the smog pump when it reaches proper temperature.t's thermactor/secondary fresh air injected from the smog air pump for converter/catalyst secondary burn/conversion.. Disabling/restricting an EGR flow (drastically), can/will result in a DTC.. The tube is needed for a fresh air suppy to the converter..
The purpose of any catalytic converter is to reduce harmful emissions from the exhaust of a properly tuned combustion engine. It accomplishes this through a combination of heat and aprecious metal catalyst that causes the harmful emissions to either oxidize or reduce to safe elements in the exhaust flow.irst, the carbon deposits prevent the catalytic converter from reducing harmful emission in the exhaust flow. And second, the carbon deposits clog the pores in the ceramic catalyst and block exhaust flow, increasing backpressure and causing heat and exhaust to back up into the engine compartment.
