If it were so simple. Cats are good, I disconnected them and drove it, still hesitated and was super loud. Bad cat smell is from unburned raw fuel dumping into the cats.
Mechanic this morning hooked up a snap-on ODBII scan tool. Like a mini PC with a touchscreen.
2 codes were present in the Engine section.
P sum-thing o2 sensor 1 is Rich
P sum-thing 02 sensor 2 is Lean
o2s21 5-6 mv
o2s22 1-3 mv
MAF (v) 0.02 volts
He set the scanner to read live data and determined that Cylinder 1 was missing intermittently and cylinder 6 would miss every 20 seconds or so randomly. I swapped plug wires with cyl 1 and 2 no change
o2 voltage was present and seemed to be working fine (both sensors are under a year old)
Come on guys, help me out. A car payment (2010 or newer) and no headache sounds good right now but I can't give up yet

Edit:
also the SFTRIM 2(%) was at 14%
and the LFTRIM 2(%) was at 0%
Does any of this help?
My mechanic says either new sending unit ($200) or a set on injectors ($alot) unless I have any other ideas.
I cannot keep throwing money at it like a hot stripper here.
HELP!
