The harness will arrive today or tommorrow and while hoping it will resolve "Intermittent shutdown" problem, I would like to be prepared in event it does not.

To that end would appriciate input that Dealers current thought process concerning the Catalyst are plausible given the circumstances. Logical? Likely? Or not?

My Indie mechanic called to check up on how things were going, suggests a muffler shop might burn a hole in it in order to test if supposed restriction is then eliminated? Is this a viable test?

Does dealer have any test they could/should run before replacing. They seem to be grasping at air.
