Thanks for the feedback, I know, 5 years (60k miles) is unforgivable, I live in the rust belt so the car is rusting pretty bad, I don't want to put too many $$ into it, especially after this f%#$ing recession...I've done some more reading and I'm going to have my my mechanic check the pressure in front of the cat this Friday, as well as change the plugs/wires, I'll keep everyone updated...thanks guys!!
