Thanks Tom... when you say check the convertor. Can you tell if it's bad without replacing it ? We did plugs, fuel filter, air filter , oil change first. But no improvement. Would love it to be only the convertor. I would say the CEL light has been on and off for a 6 month period. Never constant. Does this sound like the problem ? During that time only misfiring at about 4,000 rpm. Then suddenly all the time.
