hey, so i was driving up a hill and i got a small oil leak and my car was on low oil( shouldn't make a differnce) and it started bogging to the point where i had no power, then it was backfireing when i was just cranking over. it backfires like crazy outa the carb and exaust, shooting oil out of the carb like a rocket. it takes aobut 20 seconds to hit high rpms in NEUTRAL (i dont think its even high rpms)... lol i cant drive anywhre cause its got bout 3 horsepower it wont even go if i drop the clutch at 9 grand. so i think sometihng is up(all happened after a seamfoam)
anyone got any suggestions?

It sounds really rough as if a belt is griding inside on the rotor. i was told plugged cat? im going to take out my cat and try but im not sure what else ?

 

Make sure that you have spark on all spark plugs. Sounds like you are having a timing issue of some sort. What year car is it?

slow to rev, sounds like it's running on one rotor.

 

its a 1982 fb rx7. i just ordered new sparkplugs, i get them tommorow, i will put them in see if that helps. i cleaned all spark contact points. cleaned carb. and i will check compression and spark tommorow.

 

Can carbon cleaning your engine clog up your cat? Absolutely.

Will a clogged cat exhibit all the problems you described? Not in my experience but hey, you could be the first.
