I recently found out that my cat had cracked and turned, blocking the exhaust, causing my engine to bogg down. i could be flat foot and it wouldnt go anywhere. so we removed the broken pieces and thought it helped well it didnt. when im idling, the car will struggle to stay running. It probably needs a tune up bad. I will be doing that very soon. Also, the check engine light is on. and it will shut off sometimes. i really dont understand the problem. maybe someone here can help me out!!! Thanks

Re: Big Problem!!
try giving it a FULL tune up.
plugs
wires
seafoam (please use the search function for this, its been beaten to death here, look in the how to forum, theres a whole thread in there on how to do it.)
fuel filter
air filter
oil,tranny and differential fluids
pcv valve
see if that helps. have the car scanned to find out what the ses light is coming on for. if i had to guess, id say the egr valve is clogged since the cat was clogged up. have the coil packs tested and the icm tested also, if need be replace them.
dont let it bum you out yet, these cars can be moody, but well worth all the work you have to put into them.
