well i disconnecet the battery and that seemed to reset every thing so no more CEL light. although the car does seem a bit shaky. it seems to bog down a bit more ar lower RPM's could that be due to a clogged Cat converter??

you need to fix this soon, your cats are clogged, probably your precats, basically its time for Headers and MIL eliminators.

Not necessarily. OP, you REALLY need to pull the codes to find out what is happening. But seeing as you just reset the computer, you're going to have to wait awhile until it reads a pending code :nonono:.

IF it is the precats, the cheapest thing to do would be to gut them...almost free to do just takes some time and effort. There is a how to on there someplace, and then use MILs to prevent the CEL from coming on. Headers are the ideal situation but are a MAJOR pain to install.
