Are you sure your cat is blocked?? I know a said it a few months ago in this post, but you really would know if your cat is blocked. Its like driving a boat, under load there is not power.
Have you tried revving it in nutral? does it still not rev happy????
Also hitting the speed limiter would be nothing for the FTO. 180km/h is nothing.

I pretty sure its blocked, its getting hard to start when it is cold and it feels real gutless when driving it around, also when its is cold there is a strong fuel smell.
When I got the mechanics at work to have a look at it, they reacon that the valves and that are fine, I took the injectors out and got them checked, they were good.

Hey everyone, I got my car all sorted out, I bought a new O2 sensor from Repco, I had to get a universal one which was about $113 and had to solder it onto the old O2 sensor connector and reset the ECU.
It got rid of that coughing sound and runs a lot better, the only thing now is the idle is playing up but I have noticed that everytime I've resetted the ECU and also that cat converter has been replaced.
