This vehicle misses after normal operating temp. It stutters when you re accelerate. It feels like the catalyst sytem is pluuged. But it never over heats
or stalls

Any check engine light? If yes get the code(s) read. Autozone will read them free and give a printout, then post the result here. If the converter is clogged use a vacuum gauge at an intake port, you should have 16-22Hg. If the reading drops slowly, you have a problem in a converter or restriction in the exhuast.
