+1 for this. This would be the next thing on my list too! after MAF

In fact one of my 2.2 soobs needs a cat now, and acts like it wants to stall while leaving the driveway. I just have not had the time to deal with it yet.

it should have thrown a code for it before getting that bad, but who knows. Make this your next item to check for sure!
