it's on the left side of the fuel rail. it has a vacuum hose to it. if it has gas in the vacuum line, it's bad. if it hold vacuum, it's good.

how would the cat get clogged just from sitting. pull the FPR and see if there is gas in the fuel rail,thats how i found out when the f150 wouldnt start and there was water in it.water wont pass through the injectors
