ya he didnt get it to connect and basically lied to you and said there were no codes. call some shops and see if they can scan your car, let them know its obd1 with an obdII port. some people call it obd1.5.

 

You are saying the Cat converter is new, did you check the fuel filter. Those are the two most likely. Afte that is opens up to a lot of stuff. Is all you maintanence up to date? Plug, Wires?

 

everything is up to date on it except the cat will it hurt the car if run without one

 

No but it may not pass emissions.

 

depends on the state. here in sc you can run no cat because theres no emissions testing, but when i lived in ny you had to have it or you cant drive the car. also running no cat will make your exhaust really raspy.

 

they dont check for them here im thinkin about gettin it taken off just dont know what it will sound like if i do i have a thrush exhaust on it and its a real deep mean sound just dont want to end up soundin like a ricer but if its cloged and makes the car run better without it its comin off

 

The tone won't change much. Might be a step louder but that's it.

 

On my flow master system gutting the car caused a bad drone noise at cruising speed. I swapped in a magnaflow muffler and its good again.
