if your running cats on your car then they're probably clogged"

x2 on clogged cats. but vacuum leaks would cause it to lean like stated above as well

my buddies 4 runner started doing the same thing. i had him rev it and keep it at 2500 rpm and i could feel little shards of metal coming out of the exhaust. he replaced the cat, and hes good to go.

Aside from lean AFR...extremly. Retarded ignition timing could cause this.
