Ashton, I dont know what kind of catalytic converters you have, but in my 5 years in the parts business, I have NEVER seen one that had pellets in it. what is inside a converter is a honeycomb shaped ceramic-like "filter". over time, the heat from the exhaust causes this to break down (from front to back) and the honeycomb begins to plug up from the debris. eventually it will get so bad as to suffocate the engine by not allowing the enough exhaust to flow. so while its true that a cat can plug up and kill the engine, I've never heard of one "unplugging" itself and allowing the car to start after its cooled down. just doesnt happen. once its plugged enough to kill a running engine, its time to replace it, regardless of the temperature.
