Clogged exhaust system... parts of the converter and muffler had collapsed, restricting the flow severely. Also changed the o2 sensor in the cat, and disconnected the battery to reset the computer.

So you've got a loose cat inside your Jeep. Hope you have a litter box.

cat in car

I was forced to haul my daughter's cat about 1500 miles when we moved. I'm not sure who wanted out of the car worse at the end of the trip! But that is definitely on my "NEVER AGAIN!!!" list.....
