Re: clogged cat?
I believe I've heard that timing jumping a few teeth can cause similar symptoms.

Re: clogged cat?
I heard the same, check under the hood after a nighttime drive and look for a red header.

Re: clogged cat?
I think I have the same problem with my pre-cat my car has the same symptoms. I have a leak in mine so my pre-cat has a hole in it.
I have a check engine light of OB2 P0136 and P0141 |

Re: clogged cat?
well i figured out what made the car run like crap...bad coil...which on #4. runs like a champ. i'll have to check later to see if the exhaust gets hot like before. i pulled all cats out and checked them, all seem to be fine and i dont hear any rattling. so hopefully it was just the coil. i have a spare motor laying around so i pulled the coil i needed off it.
