I am not sure if it is my CAT or not... It is so frustrating. The car will not even idle now. At first it started out barely noticable and now this. It has only been like 3 weeks but I have tried to continue driving it back and forth to work only. I have replaced plugs and wires and distributor cap and fuel filter and canister purge solinoid and air filter and I have even stumped a couple of mechanics just taking a quick look at it. It is not my EGR or O2 so I am told. SO WHAT IS IT? I have beat on the CAT to see if i can break the carbon deposits inside loose and I can see a few small black things on the ground behind my car after getting on the gas setting still in my drive way. I also have white smoke coming out while I am doing that. Please help!!!
 
if you can try and run some sea foam through a vac line, oil, and gas tank. my jeep had this problem and i used the seafoam and it helped alot, it will clean out any carbon build up you have along with any junk inside. also i would double check the o2 sensors because i ended up havin to replace mine.

I will try the sea foam thing. Where would i get that? I will also get a third opinion on the O2.
