03 Buick Centry 3.1 ltr 59,000mi. 2+ months ago car started acting like not getting gas going up incline or hill. Car would pull and run fine if put into 3rd under 80. If not would just bog down and coast to side of road. If going over 80, would run fine. Needed high vacuum. Will run around town fine all day and night in stop and go traffic. Replaced fuel filter. Light came on 101 and Buick replaced MASS. Took it home same thing and code. Buick replaced MASS again. BuickTest drove it and said Catalitic conv. Needed replaced $1,000 Already had $435 from MASS. Went to indep. Shop. 1# back pressure up stream from CAT. Repl. MAP, TPS, pulls hilll better, but at top of each will miss and bump drive train & sometime stall out like before trying to climb. Fuel pressure fine, no vacuum leaks, pulled and held vacuum at indep shop. Disc. EGR runs great, except when placed in PARK and turn off A/C it sometimes stalls. Want ot go on 900mi. Trip for 4th. Will it hurt it to run w/o egr. Have taken off egr, plunger will go up and down and all looks well. .I am at a loss
