i had the same problems with my gmc jimmy, my best guess would be that your catalytic converter is clogged up, have you ever replaced it??? worth a shot to check out

thats definatly what happened to my gmc, pulled up to my friends shop and he asked if i had red neons under the truck, the car couldnt breath so it superheated the whole exhaust, does the car have a serious lack in power? my girls car had the same problem too, started loosing power then started stalling

disconnect your Y pipe and restart the car.

that way you might be able to tell if it is the pre-cat or the cat that is clogged.

any electronics running ? ie- SAFC ??

i would do what mole said, just disconnect it and see if the problem persists, cause your gonna kick yourself if you go out and buy a new car when you could have just gone out and baught a high flow cat for like 100 bucks... pm me and lemme know what happend with the whole situation.
