Sounds like you may have a bad catalytic converter and torque converter (not uncommon on this vehicle). jerry

welcome to the forum. using the scanner check the balance between the front and rear 02's.if it's close replace the cat. i also use the rattle test. when the exhaust is cold shale it. if it rattles the cat's junk. i use an infrared temp gun to check the cat. it sounds like a converter issue. i suggest you only use o.e.m.

at that kind of mileage, the cat is out a business. The cat monitor should be about 1/2 of the front o2 sensor.
