Recently ive noticed a huge power lag on my KJ, it has 49k on it and if im on the highway or going up a hill if im riding around 3,000 rpms and i dont floor it it will drop to about 1,000 rpms, and no its not shifting, and stay there until I floor it again. I havent been to a mechanic yet im thinking maybe a clogged Cat or vaccum lines? i know i have a small exhaust leak.

small exhaust leak can cause it to run rich and end up possibly ruining a cat or cats.
Also how long since your last tune up?

I gave it a tune up about 5,000 miles ago, should i pull a plug and see if its blackened? Thats the best way i can think of to see if its running rich or not.
