not entirely sure but i have heard of a similar fault and it was down to the cat. being blocked.

A mechanic is looking at the car and I have read of similar problems being caused by the lift pump. Does this sound likely.
If it is a blocked cat will this be expensive?

could be pump so why not try a good injector cleaner , cat would have to be changed
