Take it to Autozone or Advance and scan it for free. No CEL could mean intermittent problem. "Anyone know if it could be a clogged cat or how to test?" For the Zetec. A good cheap way to test for a blocked exhaust is to remove the O2 sensors, in this order (and see if the performance improves). Uninstall Lower to determine if main cat is plugged, reinstall lower and then uninstall Upper to determine if precat is plugged. Battery needs to be disconnected before uninstalling and installing O2 sensors. Good luck. "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles
