My ol beat up body is recouped from the trip to Carlisle in HER tight seated 90 coupe. My 86 went from 20+ to 16 +/- MPG. New stock plugs, New wires,Checked timing,All new vacuum hoses everywhere,New air filter, New cap and rotor last year. Am I having a "moment" an forgetting something? My thought, Bad injectors.....Idle is fine, Noid light shows no problem. Takes forever to get moving. Like plugged air filter. I need some insite....Oh, had fuel pressure gauge hooked up, looked good. was bleeding off slowley

Suggest pulling the O2 sensor in front of the cat and take back pressure reading. If it is high, your cat is plugged.
