180000 d16z6. it runs great, just at 5500 it feels like it want to blow up. just like it done going; as if it has redlined when you red line.

think it could be the cat starting to clog?

yesterday i had to drive a blazer that wouldnt go above 2000 rpm in first gear (had to drive a mile @ 15mph...) and it turned out to be the cat.
