DEAD CAT BAD CAT

What are the indcations that the cat/c has or is going bad. I recently, ran on 9 cylinders for longer than I would like to admit while chasing a rough idle. I have heard the stories that fuel from this situation can cause the cat to fail. Truck is not running right and sounds off. I just had the 9 cylinder fail again this time from a broken wire on the 2pin connector so I was pissing gas through again.

Delete it, you'd be surprised. Oh, and it stinks too.
