Running temperature engine issues
Hello, I have an O3 Escape that I just replaced two catalytic converters and gutted the firewall cat (to see if anything changed). I did this because I felt it was worth a try, since the exhaust manifold on the rear had three broken bolts. Anyway, after I gutted the cat, I got no engine lights like I normally did (multiple misfires). I decided to take it down the road, and it did fine for about 1/8th mile, then lost power like the transmission was bogging down or something. The engine would not rev and eventually I got it home on 1300 rpms or so. The slightest hill would make me wonder if I was going to get it home. Again, there are no exhaust restrictions. Any thoughts on what might be wrong? All the COPS are new. Vacuum lines look bad, but I can't hear or feel any leaks. Thanks.
