Clogged Cat? How do I tell?
 

My '87 TII has symptoms of clogged cat - as well as other possible causes.
mainly, no power with excessive throttle, doggs down at 4000 rpm, overheats.
I understand from searching that there are a bunch things that can cause these problems.
How do you confirm or eliminate the cat(s) as the problem?

if the cats are clogged, at night time drive, if you peer under and see them red hot, they are clogged. also, place your hand near the exahust, feel the back pressure. you should be able to tell . our cars have a strong back pressure, if your aint to strong, well get those bad boys removed :)

Any exhaust shop will through it up on the lift and tell ya for free.

Yea just take a gander at them after a night time cruise.

Thanks, Gang! I'll let you know what I find after dark tomorrow.

Just give it a few redline revs right now. Neighbors love that.
