I bought this 1998 ES300 with 136k on it. pretty good car, until i got the Catalytic converter Heat Shield tied up with matel wire from machenic. may be since then its not accelerating the way it supose to be, its very loud when i press gas all the way down. any idea. i have no idea how to brows around this forum. please let me know at nomi_khan28@hotmail.com if you have any idea about the issue. i checked the plugs they are fine. got the oil changed and used supreme gas all the time. i had 1994 V6 camry last year and that was very silent when ever i did suden acceleration. no warnings lights and the ODBll scaner did not returned any code at all. is there any possibility that machenic might have demaged the ciramin in Catalytic conver by that tight matel tie with bolt on it. i just noticed some oil drip around valve conver, appreciate any help
