I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

We got it fixed. Pulled and the relays and cleaned them unhooked the battery for 15 min and then hooked it back up and now runs 3-4 seconds and then shuts off. Thanks guys for your help. Next thing is to do is punch the cat out.

Punch a CAT. That is not very nice. Poor little GUY.  By the way if it is not clogged there is no reason to do that. because it ADDS PONIES!!!

Unless it's clogged...

Be that as it may, the issue that caused the cats to get plugged up will likely cause more power loss than whether or not the cat's guts are in there.

I just put a new ler on Saturday and he was saying my cat is very old and has been beat. I plan on converting the car to a five speed so punching the cat out is ok for now. When I put the 5 speed in I will put a whole new exhaust in.
