What dan said.
We fiddled with it, re-installed it and it bogged and such, so I fiddled with it some more, made 100% sure the screens were IN THERE straight (after experimenting with one screen out, etc, which made it just stall). It ran for a little while normally but now again its starting to go all wonky and bog abit under 30% throttle or so above 5000RPM, and issues after i redline, it seems to bog the next gear.

Any chance misfires and other plug/coil issues would cause/exacerbate cat issues? I get P0420's occasionally (they sometimes self-reset,) and this morning noticed major misfiring (below freezing air, engine warmed up, major power loss at 6+k with blinking engine light.)
I'm going to get new plugs/coils obviously, but think there's any chance it'll take care of the P0420's as well (at least for a little while?)

i had the same problem happen at around 6500rpm's getting on the highway and my engine severely bogged down and it wont rev high in any gear that i could feasably try (1-2-3), and my engine light blinked and stayed on....now im sitting in a mazda dealership...any ideas other than the fact that i probably shouldn't be at the dealership?
