Another thing that comes up almost daily in this forum with these symptoms is a clogged CAT. I had the same thing, multiple misfire CEL, no power under acceleration, etc. If checking all your injector/spark plug/wire setup doesnt yield any results.. unbolt the exhaust at the manifolds (yes, its loud, but its a good test) to see if you have the same issue. My CAT was old/broken/clogged and thats what I was experiencing.. a Magnaflow hi flow CAT solved the issue.

yeah i could check that. The cat is stock with 109xxx miles. But it also looks like the wires and distributor is also. well atleast the wires are Mopar wires.

I took some of the plugs out and all seemed fine. ive seen alot worse that still worked fine.
Im waiting for the temp to rise a little to work on it. i only work 1 block away so its not a big deal getting there.

I really dont want to take everything apart to get to the dang distributor. Have you guys found an easier way?
