When I got to my sons house, he disconnected the battery. I drove 165 miles home, no restricted performance. Filled up with gas, restricted performance came on, which was just like this morning. filled up with gas and restricted performance came on. Using hi-test gas. coincidence?

There are a few cat cheating devices like chip and O2 sensor extension. You have to weld O2 sensor bang (nut) welded if your car doesn't have them for downstream sensors.

Have plenty of time available as it keeps throwing codes and you keep tweaking them.
