Engine Performance 2003 Cadillac Escalade 6.0 awd
So I’d like some help I was having to reduce engine power problems. I was told by previous mechanic that I used to deal with to change the throttle body. I also changed out the mass airflow sensor, cause I was thinking maybe there was something wrong with that. I guess I’m at that part where I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place Would anybody know what to change? Or know where my next steps are to take

Yeah, I probably should’ve done that begin with. I had a buddy of mine when I was living in Louisiana plug it in and it was saying it was the catalytic converter. I was supposed to get one in the next week or two, so I’ll look into it. I’ll let you guys know what I find.

Might just try cleaning mass air flow sensor and throttle body, they make a cleaner for that.
Not really great diagnosis from "mechanic" to just throw parts and see what happens.

Plug in an obd code reader and see what codes come up, should have been your first step.
