have you replaced the fuel filter yet? a dirty filter will flow less fuel under load causing a loss of power.

2000 Gran prix keeps stalling Already replaced fuel filter?
Check to see if catalytic converter is stopped up,a clogged fuel filter can cause it to go bad .
Does a Catalytic Converter save on gas?
No, it merely reduces pollution. It does not come into play until the gas has already been burned.
What could cause a 97 Chevy Cavalier to putter and stall after only driving it for ten minutes if you have already replaced the fuel filter?
Catalytic converter. 9 out of 10 times when a car runs fin cool and stalls when warm, this is the problem.
Should you cut the catalytic converter off?
Should you cut off the catalytic converter? No. But can you and will SOME vehicles actually benefit? Yes. It is illegal to remove any emmision control device from your vehicle in most if not all states. For countries such as Mexico where it is not illegal, some vehicles without downstream Oxygen sensors (after the catalytic converter) it can have some benefits. It is really the same benefit as a free flowing exhaust. Modern (97+) cars already have a free flowing design catalytic converter so there is no benefit to doing this.
What about the honeycomb in a converter is it safe to break apart?
There is no reason to do this. Modern catalytic converters do not restrict your exhaust flow. All you will gain by breaking it out is a check engine light coming on that will never go away. If your check engine light is already on for a catalytic converter problem removing the honeycomb will not fix it.
2000 Toyota Echo starts for a few seconds Stops Already replaced fuel pump and filter without improvement?
IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON? IF SO, DOES IT HAVE CODE 0420? IF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BLOCKED, THE ENGINE WILL RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND STOP BECAUSE THE EXHAUST BUILDS UP TOO MUCH BACK PRESSURE.
How do you make exhaust on Dodge Ram louder you already have flowmaster 40 series and a cutout and you want to make it louder Is that possible without making it too illegal?
take the catalytic converter off. you can punch the guts out of the converter so you have a pipe to got back on the exhaust.
1998 Honda Civic and code P1163 where is it located?
the P1163 code refers to the Primary Oxygen Sensor in your car, which is found before your CAT, or catalytic converter. The code is "Primary HO2S (No. 1) Circuit Slow Response" I have the same code on my 98 Honda civic, but have already replaced the sensor, so i am in quite a situation. My check engine light WILL NOT GO OFF! but i hope i helped you if you havent replaced your oxygen sensor yet
Will your 2002 Nissan altima run better without a catalytic converter?
yes, but it is illegal and i do not encourage it becasue your engine light will stay on, but if your converter has already damaged your engine, it is to late and you need to replace the engine. this happens because the pre cat or pieces of it get sucked up into the engine damageing the cylinders
How much to replace a 93 Chevy Lumina catalytic converter I already have the part about how much should i pay for labor?
I guess it would depend if the replacement part is a bolt in or a weld in, either way it should take about a half hour to a hour of shop time.
What would cause catalyst system efficiency below threshold already had the catalytic converter and O2 senors replaced?
You have spent quite a bit of money and still have the problem. Obviously the converter and the O2 sensor did not need replacing. Take the car to a professional who actually knows what they are doing, and stop throwing parts at the problem.You have spent quite a bit of money and still have the problem.

Why does a 1989 Honda accord buck and sputter while driving?
I have just submitted this question and I wanted to let anyone who can answer this to know that I have already replaced the fuel filter, plugs and wires. My next attempt will be the catalyptic converter.
