(*lightbulb lights up over my head) this just popped into my mind as you mentioned exhaust clogging. when my cat converter shat itself i noticed a definate power loss (the sx almost got muched by an auto laser Shocked ). anyways i got under the car as something was rattling and i had a feel around and thought it was the heat shields come loose. anyways i banged under the cat and could hear and feel loose stuff inside. turns out the cat had died after only 2 weeks or so. when they took it out the honeycomb sorta stuff had started to discintegrate and when i gassed, the exhaust sent it to the back of the cat and it jammed the exhaust up making it go like crap.

it could also maybe be a sensor come loose or wiring worn out hence wrong readings>wrong fuel ratios>poor performance.

check the cat and have a look at sensors etc inclusing maybe the tps. well everyones narrowing things down so sooner or later youll hit the jackpot.

Leigh.
