Take a spray bottle with water and spray the cap and wires while it's running. Continue spraying each wire to its full length. If there is no stuttering you can assume that you have eliminated the cap and wires as being the problem. If you get stuttering you have found the location of a problem.Take a propane torch (unlit!) and spray around all of the vacuum/intake connections. If you get a real change in speed you have found the location of a vacuum leak.Since your cat was backed up you may have a lot of carbon buildup in the intake/EGR/etc. Try using some Seafoam pulled in through the brake booster line. Let it set for 10-20 minutes then crank it up. You should get a lot of white smoke. You may have to pull the plugs and look to see if they are already fouled due to the poor running.Good luck Quote Selected
