    Ok about 3 months ago I had severe misfire problems that were trace
    back to a bad coil pack , now I have a similiar problem with power
    loss in high gear and misfires at or about 4000 Rpms . I have already
    changed wires . plugs , TPS amd MAS sensors and there has not been
    any check lights so far . From reading other threads I think I need to
    change or check the crank position sensor (Note : I had a similiar
    problem on my 95 Scoupe and it just needed the position sensor clean
    of metal particles )

    I doubt it’s a crank sensor problem. They usually don’t cause
    performance issues beyond making the car stall or not run at all.

    If it’s actually a misfire, then there are many possibilities left to
    check, such as the fuel injectors and compression. But if it’s just
    power loss without a misfire, especially at high rpm, my money is on
    the catalytic converter, possibly damaged by the previous misfire

    I know ..and your point is ? My point is that the location of the
    catalytic convert is not conducive to the use of a non oem replacement
    part . Especially since this will be the second trip to the dealer
    within a 3 month span .
