Try replacing the PCV valve, cheap and effective. When the valve gets dirty, quickly depressing the throttle will bog the engine down(pressure issues).

Normally when catalytic converters become clogged and need replacing there is a reason for this. Something caused the converter to become clogged.

If the check engine light is not on and the vehicle is running perfectly with the new converter then it will more than likely pass the smog test.
