The reason I'm shifting my thought to ignition (other than just tried of smelling like gas..ha ha) is because we have went complete through the fuel system and so has the previous owner. Maybe it's not the problem anymore. we have corrected quite a bit but just seems to still missing something. As I type this, wonder if the cat might stopped up. that would kinda make sense. I haven't checked it. That might explain why it tries to run a little with the plug out. Its not build that much pressure.Hummm whatcha think about that..???
Yeah, had a great cruise...lots of sunshine, beer, and food. Getting ready to go to Jamaica next week. What recession???!

The CAT did cross my mind, but not knowing what's been done to the car up to the point when you got it makes it hard to diagnose. But maybe running with a spark plug out is an indication, I don't know since I've never had a bad cat (on a car anyway). I find it pretty weird that you took a plug out and started the car up...I wouldn't have the nerve.

At this point I would try to disconnect the CAT and see if it runs.

Keep us posted,

Dave
