What's the theory here about bridging the brown wires? When you bridge those you retard the timing slightly, this normally elevates exhaust temps. Are you saying to do this to get the cat nice and hot? I'm worried that this approach would elevate NO even more, no?

If it's not, then re-connect. Drive the **** out of the car. As in, get it hot, put a lot of load on the motor, etc. Google the term "Italian tune up" and do this. Change the oil, adjust valves, change spark plugs, make sure you use good fresh gas, and take it back in. You might pass. If not then I think you might try to borrow a cat with an O2 sensor bung on it.
