If you remove the precat sensors and the cat is plugged the vehicle will run much better, you could also disconnect the precat sensor and see if that makes a difference in mileage as the pcm will set to default fuel air mixture.
We installed OEM spark plugs. The Pre cat sensor was replaced by the dealership before we bought it. The post cat I had changed.
