There is a possibility that your O2 sensor is fouled. The O2 sensor is what reads the exhaust air to fuel ratio. Have it checked..........I would have looked at a bad O2 sensor before i replaced a catalytic converter. There are some cars with O2 sensors before and after the cats, and others just have O2 sensors in front of the cats. I am not sure what you have.
