2002 Pontiac Grand Prix loss of power

Update to my previous question about loss of power. It was in fact the converter being plugged at least 75%. What I did, I used a chop saw to cut the pipe on the front of the converter to look at the inlet side with the idea if it wasn't plugged then I would just weld it back up. I thought about punching it out but went to my local automotive store and found a universal converter for $75 Can plus taxes and welded that into place. Took it for a test drive and the cars working like new again A little noisy as I used the old gaskets because the store didn't have any in stock which I will replace here in a day or so.

Actually according to the GM dealership, they do have a rev limiter for the sole purpose of missed shifts, or accidental shifting in to neutral. And trying to blow up their engine while in park.

Granted, that it will be needed to be checked out for the cause of it getting plugged. The car has 210K and I suspect that the price of gas being 99.9/liter had the previous owner buying the lowest grade. Also with that high of kilos I have a suspicion that the O2's have become lazy. There isn't/wasn't any lights on indicating error codes in the computer. I don't have axcess to a scanner at the moment so I can't tell for sure.
