    could be a lamda or a cat issue had the same problem with mine turned out it just needed a new cat but i would get it plugged in to check the fault code to be on the safe side

    the only way you can check a cat is finish is either it rattles due to collapse, is blocked - just look in it or ultimately measure the HC, CO2 and C0 gas levels in which you would need a gas analyser to do it.

    A normal lambda reading, CO of approx .65 with about 13% CO2 will indicate cat issues. Will cost you though to have it measured.

    Have the fault read out of it otherwise you will be guessing all day long. That really is the bottom line sorry.

    get a garage to check over it and if there is anything it will show up
