Start by checking the condition of your plugs, cap, and rotor. If worn or corroded, replace them.

Also check the ignition timing and consider replacing the fuel filter.

Is the CEL ON?

Pull the code using the instructions in RonJ's signature.
Then reset the ECU by removing the back-up fuse from the under-the-hood fuse box for 5 minutes. Put it back in, start the car, and don't touch the gas for 5 minutes. After that, you're good to go. See if the code comes back. If the CEL was only caused by not having a cat, it shouldn't come back. If the ECU detects a different problem, it will come back on eventually.
