Hello,

So you will be able to start the vehicle but it has low power and drivers slowly?
There are several factors can come in play when an engine produces low power.

You could have an issue with a clogged air filter or fuel filter, or even a weak fuel pump.
Plugged catalytic converter, dirty mass air flow sensor etc.

Here are couple of helpful articles :

Go thru each of those items on the list. Be sure to check for any trouble codes as it can point to the right direction.

Thank you.
