Check/change the spark plugs first. (4 NGK iridium plugs, about 25 dollars a plug)
Plug wires next.
Coils after that. (stock coils fail when spark plugs foul)
If the issue is not resolved by the ignition fixes, get a compression check from a rotary knowledgeable mechanic.

Take it to a muffler shop for an expert opinion. The plugging of the converter would cause a huge power loss and the resulting restricted exhaust gasses would cause your check engine light to come on since the oxygen sensor would be giving the computer bad information.
