Details: Category: Chevy Cavalier Car Repair Help

2003 Chevy cavalier bogging on uphill pull. My 2003 chev cavalier started to power out on uphill. It seems fine on flat ground.i `ve replaced the air/fuel filters spark plugs last year the fuel pump. Someone says it might be the catalytic converter. Would this make the car bog out on hills?

Answer: There could be several causes for this problem with your car.

Engine misfire caused by corrodes bad spark plugs or ignition coils.
Low fuel pressure.
Plugged catalytic converter.
Depending on the engine, bad plug wires or ignition coil housing.

To test for a plugged you would need to have a back pressure test done, or unbolt the exhaust before the converter to see if it runs better.
