Default Crazy miss

Got a crazy miss but no codes are coming on . How can you tell if the cats are stopped up ? I misses when you press the go pedal between 45 -60 . But if you stomp it , it will get up and go . I'm clueless on this . It does have an odd oder coming from the exhaust .

Had the same problem, replaced all coils and plugs. Runs great. Look on amazon for accel coils, half what oem's are.

The o2 sensor SHOULD catch a cat problem, but you can use a 3x5 notebook card to check it. Just hold it about an inch or two from the tailpipe and you should get even puffs that blow the card back...
