if you can get your car in the air, ramps, or jacks, hit the cat when its cold, listen for stuff rattling around inside it.if so its shot..

When the car is cold jack it up and tap on the cat. If it rattles, its shot.

and no it doesnt have to be from all rpm's for it to be the cat, just when it flows enough to cause a problem

I think you have found your problem.

Replace your cat

im gunna try the just strait pipping thing for now and see how that turns out

I would dump the cat.... Thats my guess.. It is starting to go out on you.

I agree. That's what I did and then I sold my cat/dp and got some money to put towards the tune. Sketchy adventure that was to sell the cat, hence the nickname "catguy" that still floats around lmao

couldn't get the o2 sensor out.. gunna bring it in to a shop tomorrow to get fixed.. hopefully for not too much.

took it into my uncles friend. I talked to him about it and he said take me for a ride.. i went 200 yards, floored and he said oh its missing.. pulled into the shop opened the hood and he said put new wires on if not that then a coils bad.. i left bought wires put em on and took it for a drive. runs better then ever now.. i feel really stupid for not even thinking about that. thanks for all your help with this and hopefully it won't come up again
