We have had a Toyota 7FGU35 for 2 years. When we got the machine our maintenance guy replaced the throttle stop with a longer bolt to limit the speed. I know that wasn't the right way to do it but can this cause the 3-way cat. to fail? Our Dealer is saying that by adjusting the throttle stop the cat. converter can't heat up enough to work properly. This truck idles 75% of the time and never travels more than 100'. We have a full maintenance contract but they want us to pay $2200 for the catalytic converter replacement.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
