Does it still have the catalytic converter in it??.
No cat on our Spit anymore and I just removed the air pump last winter...
it went nowhere...4-1 headers. on it..
Several years back our old Chevette started to slow down, then stink of
rotten eggs.. and sometimes on a long run come to a complete standstill...
in the shop all ran fine and tested out fine.
cheers
