so today I got my o ring on my gas tank fixed and my filler neck repaced. My car drove fine for a while (2 HOURS ON SIDE STREETS STOP AND. GO) then now it has hesitation when accelerating it won't go over 40 miles an hour and sometimes goes as low as 5 miles an hour but now if I let the car stop and sit (turn it, off) it seems to accelerate to the 40 better again. It feels like its not getting enought gas. or something so then I changed the fuel filt and that did not fix the problem I took it back to the shop thinking they made a mistake but then they said it was my catalytic converter. but I don't see how that could go wrong at the same time as getting something fixed tell me what you think I'm going crazy here

the repair they did had nothing to do with your issue.

yes, i agree with the cat failing. it would have failed even if you did not have the repair done
