If the full tuneup has been completed on the motor, start looking for restriction issues especially in the exhaust. If the cat is bunged up that will kill the performance. |

MMM wouldn't have brought the power back if the issue was the Cats have you checked your airfilter, cleaned the throttlebody etc? coulda just had some crap on your valves from having the fuel system cleaned out, or the fuel injectors could have still been gunked |

might have been some build up on the valves throttlebody was proffesionally cleaned and the air filter is due in 4k miles, its like sometimes the power will come and go for no apperant reason |

idle seems stable was pretty rough until after i ran the tank of marvels through. i have to run conventional oil otherwise i get a knocking noise sorta like a wrist pin know but only would do it at idle and only with synthetic or synthetic blended oils. |
