When my Tahoe gets up to running temperature, I lose power the more I press the gas pedal down. My mechanic says my catalytic converters are clogged. If they are clogged, why does the engine run fine until it gets to normal running temperature? Also, by stopping and swtiching off for a mniute, all seems fine for a few minutes. Is this the normal sympton of clogged catalytic converters?

sounds like it to me, when it is turned off then back on the back pressure goes away, then builds up again untill it is shut off again.
