1K sounds fast for idle.
What do you mean turned the dist? It probably not cause a misfire.
Ok, what is wrong with the cat?
Ok, it overheats there could be any number of reasons for it to overheat. Tstat, radiator issue, clog in the system, leaks, low fluid, an engine working harder than it was designed to, air to the radiator, missing air guides, front end damage.

Last tune up?
Check compression?

Reset your ECU. Do the codes come back? What trim is your car?

Do a compression test.
