if your cat ever rattles at idle or comming up to speed, chances are its bad. if it only has power problems sometimes, chances are your cat is bad

i took it in about a month ago and had the tailpipe replaced from the back of the muffler, minus the resonator. they told me everything looked good. muffler and cat, which both were replaced about 4 yrs ago. I never get any rattling from the cat.
i did at that time have a warped exhaust manifold, which is now repaired.
i think ill take out the maf sensor and see what kind of condition that is in.

since california wont let Autozone pull codes, i took it in to a shop and had them pull codes.
the only code it pulled was a 33. not bad since ive never had anyone pull codes in the 5 years ive had it.
i also had them replace the Fuel filter. 25.00 in labor. the old one was so plugged i couldnt even pass air thru the filter when blowing into it. dont have a clue how the engine was getting fuel.
i did replace it with a motorcraft filter, which i already had.

My 88 b2 with the 2.9l, a4ld, 4.10s and 225/70/15s would top out at 45 on hills like that too. I think it's the crap trans. do a 4.0l or v8 swap with a manual and be happy
