Air filters are a part of every car and they help catch dirt and grime from entering the vehicles engine. If they fail to work properly, they may cause your car to fail an emissions test. If your air filters aren’t working properly, they could be allowing metals and dirt to enter your engine. This can cause a lot of problems and even cause your engine to stop working after a while.

Dirty Engine Oil
You don’t want to get dirt in your engine oil, as this can cause a variety of problems. It can cause the inner workings of your engine to lock up and allow dirt and grime to spread through your engine and your car’s entire system. This can lead to serious problems. When you have an emissions test done on your vehicle, it can tell you if there is a problem that could mean there is dirt in the oil or anywhere in the engine. If may be necessary to have the engine professionally cleaned so it can perform well.
Defective Catalytic Converters
The catalytic converter helps breakdown pollutants that are spread from the engine. They are required to be added to every vehicle and without them, the pollutants are released into the air where they can affect the environment. If your catalytic converter is broken or isn’t working properly, your exhaust may also make your car sound a little louder then normal. Catalytic converters can often be repaired but may need to be replaced if they are beyond repair.
