Dies at Idle help!!!!!!!!!!Please
 

Ok i know im a dodge owner but my father in laws 02 gmc sierra 5.3 has a problem it dies at idle and produces black smoke it also makes a undescribable noise what could this be he has only put dual flows on her and that is it it has i think 93000 miles please help someone at Midas told him it was his cat and it would cost $290 i know thats a good price but is that the problem it wont do over 35 if you can get it there but then when you stop at a light it dies and doesnt wanna start i was thinking like injetors, or pressure regulator and Autozone cant pull codes nothing pulls up on thier tool

eah it sounds like the cat you can drill some holes right before the cat to see if that helps but if its not the cats then you now have to patch the holes.

if its the cat,it should start ok cold and decline..unless its REALLY been plugged for awhile...try removing an 02 sensor in front of the cat and trying it
