Hi,
If there was a lean or rich fuel mixture, it should have set a code. The same if it was a plugged converter. Does your scan tool have live data? If it does, I need you to check two things.
First, with the engine cold, check the engine coolant temperature sensor reading. Start the engine, allow it to warm up in an open-loop condition, and see what the short-term fuel trims are.
If you don't have a scanner, inspect the wiring at the crankshaft position sensor. The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located near the outer edge of the flywheel (starter ring gear). See pic 1 for location. It's right near the exhaust manifold and the wiring takes a lot of heat.
Let me know what you find.
Joe
