    I have a 2001 gt - car starts and runs fine when cold.
    Once it heats ups it idles fine but no power on acceleration, could barely get it up 30 kph
    Pulled a PO141 code and changed the O2 sensor but that didn't help.
    Fuel pressue is fine.
    Bad Cat or what?
    Thanks in advance from a new guy here on the forums.

    Thanks for the input guys.
    It was the Cat after all.
    I managed to locate a low mileage Cat off a 2004 GP and it fit with no problems. The 2001 even seems to have a bit more get up and go then it did before (bonus) plus the newer Cat should help out even better for my Etest in the spring
    Thanks again guys
