wow mike...I remember Pm'ing about this a while back. I can understand your frustration given that you just can't solve the problem.
I went into a dealer to have them check my coils as well...and they said that they check to see if there are any CEL's....if not, they would not replace them.
Did you get any CELS at all.....I would expect to get a CEL if the CAT went bad, right?
Did you end up going with a factory CAT, or aftermarket hiflow unit?

So they still did not find the "real" cause of these issues??
Sounds like they will replace, at your cost, everything they can think of till the problem goes away!
<sarcasm>Awesome...just awesome </sarcasm>

mike, this sounds exactly like the problem my MT was having, same type of "fixes" too. Now my engine needs to be replaced and they've denied warranty because I did my own oil changes. (read my thread). At least I didn't spend $650, but I did have to replace two batteries in the process.

I got 4 brand new coils for 120 shipped to my doors, and it took me 30 minutes to install. That was my first time, if u want me to install it again. I will say 15 minutes TOPs
Gas cap 20 bux ? lol !
oil change 30 ? they better gave u Synthetic oil cuz Dino oil cost like only 2-3 bux a quart RETAIL. dealership probaby get them for a buck each quart.
Labor was 300 ? how many hours were there ? all the stuff that they did ur car requires less than an hour to complete. what the fuxk ?
Thats why no one trust dealerships, cuz they always try to rip people off without a sweat.

yeah, sounds like engine or drive train stuff. I know I had a big power dip at the recent so cal dyno day...I figure I lost a lot of hp and torque due to my failing trans.
