Has the rubber test pipe cap for the catalytic converter burned through?
You could have a clogged cat.
If the cap has not burned through you can pull it at idle and see if you get a lot of exhaust through it.
If you end up replacing the cat, also check the rest of the exhaust system. The resonator can get plugged up when the cat comes apart.

Hi!
I made a 300 km trip this weekend and my 95 ev camper with his big 5
cylinder was not even able to follow my friends with their vanagon.
No power i had trouble to reach 95 km/hour (55 mph).It was doing like
if the motor was not running with 5 cylinder, at home i checked the 5
plugs and they all had electicity on it while running. Somebody told
me it could be the timing, but my mechanic told me a couple week ago
it could not be adjusted????? and it took a lot of gas, 19 liters per
100 km which is 1 1/2 what it should be. Somebody has an idea of where
I should investigate?. i have to tell that the vehicle is 140000 km
and the plugs were changed at 100 000 km and the rotor and the
distributor cap change a couple month ago.
