I have a 2 issues that maybe intertwined.

1st is that my vehicle bogs at stop lights. The weird thing is that if i turn the vehicle off and on it "resets" itself and drives fine for a while. I have replaced the fuel filter and a friend just bored out my catalytic convertor thinking that might be the problem. When hooked up to a computer it states that 1 and 4 are misfiring. It was showing all cylinders and O2 before we did the Catalytic.

The other is that in automatic the vehicle seems to go to the next higher gear than needed and I have no "getup" when I need it. I can floor it and it just stays at the same speed. I have to move it to manual and drop it down to get moving.

Anyone ever dealt with these issues? Any Advise?
