Plugged cats?

Ok, I thought he said he replaced a cat, but I might be mistaken. I know theres a new midas-style exuast under it. Yea, bad stuffs, but I got the car for $200!

Ok, I changed the TFI (the case was cracked, which is why it didn't run). The TPS, the O2's, and repaired alot of the engine wiring harness. Hmm... the other thing I noticed is a sort of hissing from the gas tank area while it's running, seperate from the fuel pump.

I thought it might be the tranny, cuz I've smoked an AOD before and remembered what it felt like.... But the only time it seemed to do it was at 55 in Drive. (around 2200 rpm). I haven't gotton to do it in the city and haven't had a reason to hit the freeway again.

He did a tune up I guess, but I changed the wires becuase he stuck el-cheapo's on it. Replaced with MSD wires. Haven't looked at the plugs, but he probably has champions in it ..

Umm, i can't think of much else.. I don't think it could be water in the gas, but I stuck a bottle of heet in it anyways. (the red one). Can't really tell if the cats are getting really hot, they don't glow or anything.

Thanks..
Matt
