My grandad took this to an exhaust shop today to check things out just to make sure something stupid wasn't happening. Apparently something stupid is happening.
The rear catalytic converter on the side that I replaced the front cat on is completely clogged. The shop is going to weld in a new universal cat and I'll find out tomorrow if this thing is finally fixed between me putting in that timing solenoid and getting a new cat put in.
We asked my normal mechanic what he thought about that and he said if back pressure gets to be really high, it can throw off the timing somehow. I'm not really sure how that would work, but he worked in a machine shop for 15 years so he usually knows what hes talking about with these sort of things. I'm going to check the timing again tomorrow when I get it back and reset all of the learned ecu adaptations and hopefully this thing will run normally again.
