CEL=check engine light. Don't think it'd be a plugged converter--that would sure limit power, but I don't think that you'd be able to get black smoke through it (rich would prolly ruin a converter though...). Exhaust smell rich?
Definatley check all the intake pipe work, as tweetiedancer recommends.
Pull the vac line of the FPR (car off) and see if it smells like gas--I usually suck on it, but that could give you a mouth full of gas, so I'm not telling you to do that. If you got gas in the fpr line, It's time for a new fpr.
Not wanting to rev above 3000 or so rpm (under load) usually (in my experience) is a MAF issue, though. MAF tested how? Many and subtle are the failures of the MAF...
-->My last "maf failure" was actually an intermittent failure of power reaching the MAF--resulting in all the signs of a bad MAF. Turned out that one set of contacts on the main relay were toasted. Took a LONG time to find that...
