What is your question?
Suburban was running a little rougher than normal so I cleaned the throttle body. Put it back on and now it is stumbling,idling very rough . Ran the codes got a p0300 p0332 p0135 p0134. I knew it needed a new cat. So my question is can the Cat be causing it to run like this ? Should I replace the catalytic converter first and 02 sensors or the knock sensor and intake gaskets? Never ran this bad til the throttle was cleaned. The scan tool said the codes along with the words, evap, misfire, 4 inc , mil on monitors , catalyst, 02 sensor, HTr 02 , fuel and comp . Never overheated, no visible holes or cracks in hoses. Thanks!
What makes this problem better or worse?
Idle, running it

So you have a lot going here. Codes for misfire, o2 sensors, and knock sensors. If the car is running very badly I would start with the misfire codes. You need to make sure you are firing on all 8 cylinders before moving on to anything else. The other codes could be going off due to a bad misfire as well. Start by pulling an injector connector or plug wire one by one while the engine is running. If you disable a cylinder and it makes no difference in how it sounds or runs, you have found the misfiring cylinder. You can also do this with a good quality scan tool but this is a good manual way to check. At that point I'd pull the plug. You may have a bad coil or injector but further hands on diagnosis will be needed after that. Start here and report back. Also check for vacuum leaks. Alex
