i had rev problems a while back simlar to what you are describing. problem got progressively worse but was still intermitent. then got worse and worse. it was a bad cat. give your cat a khock or two and try to jiggle it a bit. if no noise then not cat. if rattling is heard, then some piece of the ceramic honeycomb has broken free and is plugging the exhaust line resulting in loss of power.

just a quick easy check. good luck.
