We have a test for this in the automotive repair industry if you did suspect a cat problem. If a cat gets clogged (slightly, not to the point of necessarily causing significant power loss), then you drill this little tiny hole in the exhaust pipe before the cat and then install this backpressure testing gauge. Then if you have more than a couple psi of backpressure under eng. load (or during the condition that drivability problem exists), then your cat, or muff, or something is posing a restriction. Then you put a rivet in that hole you drilled to close it back off. Also don't overlook O2 sensor problems, as they don't always set codes (even though OBD II seems to be a fairly accurate system). Sometimes checking O2 switching and reading with an actual voltmeter hard wired to the sensor is the best way to tell what it's doing. As far as the dogs, nobody ever trained me about those. I can't fix those

Update...
I think my problem maybe related to the IAC. I just put in my BAT air inlet pipe and the IAC hose keeps coming off which in turn makes the problem more pronounced. However, if it's not this, any other idea's out there?
Thanks again,
Mike
