Not pulling

Hi,

Anytime there is that much of a power loss, the first thing I always check is for a plugged catalytic converter. If it plugs, you will experience a large power loss.

Take a look through these links. The third one explains how to test a converter. It recommends that you disconnect it from the exhaust. That can be difficult. If you would rather, remove oxygen sensors to see. It will not provide enough flow, but you should be able to tell a difference if the converter is plugged.

Now, if this doesn't prove to be an issue, then I need to know if the check engine light is staying on when the engine is running. If it is, then I need you to have the computer scanned to see what diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the system. Here is a quick video showing how it is done:

I realize most people don't own a scanner, but often times, a parts store will do it for you at no charge. Honestly, I would suggest having this done even before checking the catalytic converter. If codes are present, they will point us in the right direction.

Do this and let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe
