Will not idle and has no power
I have an 88' non-turbo. I was driving and all of the sudden it just lost almost all power. It will start up (slowly) but will not idle. It will rev upto redline but still has no power at all. Please Help!

This sounds like the problem I had. It's almost definetly the cats. When the precats get old they tend to melt and blow into the other cats clogging them. You can either gut if no emission laws where you live or get new ones. When mine were clogged I had no power and now that I fixed it it has lots more power.
