Thumbs down Car not running 100%

Hello!!

I have a 95 t/a that I've owned for about
1 1/2 years. About a month in a half after buying it, it started acting up.

After replacing the cat.,
tranny, mas, opti, and egr, plugs, wires I finally got it running right. But I noticed that it wasn't as fast as it was before It started acting up, I mean I would
barely have to touch the pedal and it
would roast the tires... now I have to
stab the pedal for the tires to break
loose.

It has developed a leak on the passenger side manifod caused by the
cat. malfunction that I haven't fixed yet.

And I notice sometimes rpms seems to
drop for a split second then return to normal at around 2000 rpms, like it hit some kind of limiter or something

Anyone have any ideas????

Ok, where's the leak on the passenger side manifold?? At the manifold/block, or at the cat? A leak in front of the O2 sensors would cause a loss in power.

As for the rpm problem, give a better explanation. IS it during acceleration, standing idle, ect.

The leak is at the manifold/block.
And the rpm loss is during acceleration.

Nice car btw.
