i tried hittin mine with 4 kinds of hammers! i knew it was broken, just wanted to see if it was rattling. used steel, lead, rubber, and some other kinda hammer. never put a hole in it, original cat with 119k on it

Could this be the reason for high idling sometimes being it being partially clogged. and sometimes no response from gas pedel. ive tested all the sensors are fine new plugs,wires,battery,fuel pump all new..

I'm not aware of high idle being a symptom of a clogged cat.

Rattling near or around the cat could just be the heat shield.

 

Do you have any other driveability symptoms?

no the car drives great except for the high idle and its only sometimes that it does it too.. its not the heat sheild. Ive checked that the inside of the cat is all broken up when i bang on it you can here pieces rattlling around..
