ohk i had optispark problems by getting it wet and it wouldn't start and then it did so i drove the car to get a cat put on it at the muffler shop ( was open headers). i got a new cat put on but the car was missing bad and the guy said i should have that fixed. i drove it to my work and then the car wouldn't start so i changed the plugs and wires there one plug was broke i figured that was the problem. the car started but now my cat was glowing red i'm guessing from getting really hot? so i thought it was clogged so i cut it off and now it wnt go past 2 rpms won't accelerate or anything......is it my distributor? its my only explanation

 

does anyone know anything??

 

car still seemed like the car is clogged up but it revs up fine in park but when i put it in drive it bogs down and starts to drop oil pressure....as i drive it does fine but it seems like it can barely go and when i stomp it it barely accelerates

 

Sounds like symptoms of a clogged cat.

So it runs like crap AFTER you cut the new cat off.

Since you have a CAI and you DOUCHED the motor, did you ever bother to check the air filter to see how wet it is?

FWIW, why would you put a new cat on an engine running like S@#T?????? Any poorly running engine can and usually does trash the cat.........
