Weird stuff going on

[98buicksupercharged]

So my car has been having problems today. At fist I thought it was the transmission was all messed up. Feels like it's slipping. Feels like it's stumbling on its self to. So it made me think transmission. But what's super weird. Is my exhaust is so quiet now. My cat back is no res and muffler that has a crack in it. So it's super loud. Well since this problem. It is so quite now. So I was thinking a clogged cat maybe?

Have you noticed a significant loss of power?

 

[Scottydoggs]

hit the cat with a hammer if it gets louder its broken inside. i see catless in your future lol

 

[98buicksupercharged]

Extreme loss in power. Barely can get to 40 in 15 seconds .

 

[98buicksupercharged]

I'm hoping it's just a cat

 

[Scottydoggs]

sounds like the cat, see if it glows red at night after driving it. or if the front manifold is glowing red, the cat is good and clogged.

When I popped my hood to check my transfluid. I didn't notice it was red. and I'd feel like that would be noticeable. Im gonna be driving it home soon. I'll look at the. Cat when I get home

Sounds like a clogged cat to me for sure, buy some headers its probably about the same price if no cheaper lol

 

[98buicksupercharged]

Haha I'm just about to cut it. And straight pipe it for the time being

Sounds like when my comp g had a clogged cat. Had a hell of a time getting it to 60mph. Didn't really want to go over 4k rpms. It also was making 13psi on a stock pulley with an XPZ cam.

 

[Scottydoggs]

back pressure...myth ????? lol

You could pull your front o2 sensor out and see if it gets better

 

[98buicksupercharged]

Got it home. Hardly. It's so slow. About doesn't want to get to 3k. It sucks. I'm gonna sleep on it. And maybe pull it in to the shop at work and and get under it and put a hammer on it see if it gets louder

 

[98buicksupercharged]

Wish I had a scanner to see if I'm making a bunch of kr now. With no exhaust going through lll

 

[Scottydoggs]

the cel flash at all?

 

[98buicksupercharged]

Nope. It's been on ever since winter. Cause my coolant temp does get up to normal operating temp so it's always on. I'll scan it at work tomorrow. And maybe I'll have a new code

 

[98buicksupercharged]

Just got to work. Scanned my car for codes. No codes except for my original one. My car also died when I reved it in park when I got her. Thinking of just buying a down pipe and throwing it ln

 

[98buicksupercharged]

On my way home from lunch break the light started flashing today

 

[Scottydoggs]

meow.
