Whats up guys im new to this site thanks by the way for making this site its helped alot! Ok so like the title says my car is a 94 D15B7 5 speed it has 237xxx miles on her it got it with 217xxc a year ago for 500 bucks! Ok so the other day I was smashing down the freeway about 100mph down hill lol anyways I got home it was fine the next day I started her up and it felt like it was running in 2 maybe 3 cylenders so I let it warm up and took off for work it seemed to run ok just didnt have the power I was use to so I got on the free way and i could only do about 70 mph in 4th gear once I put it in 5 it just bogged down! Then I got to a hill where I use to go up in 5th gear at 75 mph I went up in 3rd at 55 then getting closer to the top I had to jump into 2nd gear at 40mph ok so I got to work and the mechanic said start with tune up stuff so I got plugs NGKs yes and it seemed a tinny bit better then I got wires not NGKs and it seemed the same so then I drove it home 37miles and I looked under the car my cat was glowing orange on the inside so then I took off the cat thinking it was clogged didnt help at all so then I read on here it may be the dizzy so I got one and its the same so I took it back put my old one back on still the same then a few days later I was driving and as I got close to home my CEL came on then I got home turned the car off and started it back up and it went away so then a few days went by again came back on and went away so then a few days ago I checked the gap on the plugs and they were I think 1mm under my hood it said they should be at 1.1mm so I regapped them now I got a little power back?? On the free way flat I can roll in 5th at 70 mph but when I floor it even down shift it still feels like I have no pick up and go like I use to its a little better but still not 100% the CEL hasnt came back on oh and before I checked the gap on my plugs I read here to uplug my o2 sensor and it seem to run abit better then after I did my plugs it seemed a lil bit better I dove about 15 miles then pulled over and plugged it back in and it felt like I jad alot more power so im lost guys any help would be sick things that I did NOT check timing,and to see if maybe the timing belt jumped a tooth and I dunno how old the timing belt is I even put fuel system cleaner in it and felt better to but didnt change the fuel filter yet so yeah if yall can help thanks

Nice to know your fixed your problem...now you need to get another cat unless its not required for inspection. Unless you don't need a inspection.
