Remove the 02 sensor before the cat and start it
see if it runs better if does then you have a bad cat.

No its not giving a code and the check engine light is not on. My cousin said he cleaned the catalytic convertor out and it still hasn't helped.

My truck is still acting up, I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. My cousin cleaned the catalytic convertor out but it's still not working like it should

If cats were easily cleaned, no one would buy them. 9.9 times out of 10, it's a wasted effort. I just replaced one on a Hyundai and the honeycomb substrate was melted inside.
