Ok, here's what happened:
After reading the advice here (THANK YOU!), I limped the car 30 miles to an old-school independent shop. They found several vacuum leaks and replaced gaskets, air lines, and a few other bits.
Runs fantastic now! Almost as good a new. I had forgotten just how great it could be.
THEN...I found out that the dealer tech that did my original tune-up had been fired and the general manager replaced.
This particular tech had numerous returns due to not correctly diagnosing and repairing issues. Go figure.

Greetings, all!
About a month ago, I had a tune-up (dealer very close to my home) and (FINALLY!) did the throttle hang fix after. For the last month I've been running great. But yesterday, I had to try a couple of times to get started. Today, I'm running very rough and the engine cuts off when the RPM drops below 1k. The car went from great to terrible in a day. We've been driving the Tour every day because my wife's car is in the shop. Just pulled the codes and have included them. I know the cat code is from not fixing the old converters. Any thoughts? Thanks!
