I had my car check because the service the engine light was on. I was told my catalytic converter was going bad. Today I drove from Youngstown Ohio to Cleveland Ohio on cruise. All at once my car started losing power. 45mpr was the top speed and it is idling very rough like it needs a tune up. I had the three coils in the back changed and was also told the other three needed done. Can you help?

scanfor codes and check fuel pressure first but coils may be going bad as mechanic said.
