That's my guess!!!! You don't have a check engine light on?

I didn't think of that.I just had emissions done and it passed.Could it be bad and still pass?No check engine light though.I just put the motor in the car in Feb.Whats the best way to tell if the cat is bad?

He said that it just FEELS like it is revving higher than what the tach displays. Definitely not the clutch. My brother described the symptoms the SAME way.

Re: (fastludeh22)
I messed with the cat last night and will see if it helps on the way home from work today.It felt better on the way to work today, but all I did was sit in trafic.The real test will be the no trafic ride home.Do any of you know where the horns bolt up?I just cant find the wires for them.

my friend had the same thing happen to his car on the highway...We checked it, one of his spark plug wires were shot...change out the wires and the plugs, that may fix the problem...
It sometimes is the smallest things that need to be checked
