Weird but true. Remote but keep it in mind. My money is on the MAF.

Hi,
It's not so weird at all. The Ceramic Matrix inside the Cat gets brittle and can collapse restricting or completely blocking the exhaust. I had this happen once in my Esprit 25 mi. away from home. Had to limp it back at 15-20MPH. Jamming a metal rod inside the tailpipe loosened all the ceramic which then just fell out. It worked perfectly until the new Cat arrived...
