Thanks, y'all. My preference is to get it home, where my trusted shop can handle it, but my concern is that the rich running (150 miles up, and then another 150 back) is going to do in a cat.

I don't know. They told me it was a timing issue and that one bank of cylinders wasn't 'working.' I kind of assume they swapped out the engine, since they only had the car for a day before sending...
