SO you don't think it could be my cat? I don't wnat to have to replace all these parts, cause it may just be one of these. Oh yeah, my car also idles kinda rough...anyone know what this could be??

Ok, here is my problem. When i'm at a complete stop, it'll take a lot of gas to make it go, and as soon as I disengage the clutch, it'll sputter a little then go. Also, if i'm in a lower gear at a low speed, it'll sputter like this also as if i just started driving stick. I doubt its my spark plugs or anything like that because i just performed a major tune up on it a few months ago. However, I do know that my cat convertor does need to be replaced, cause I know it has some holes in it and you can even hear gas coming through the holes. Could this be my problem? Maybe the cat is clogged or something. I hope someone knows what this could be cause my car is running pretty sluggish


vacuum hoses then O2 sensor one by one to isolate the problem. HTH good luck!
