i was going 70mph and passing another car when the check engine light showed up...then the car slowed down and won't speed up more than 40mph anymore. i had to get out of the freeway and drove side street to get to my destination. after 4 hours i re-started the car but the check engine light won't dis-appear. i'm not sure what to do so i had the car towed back to my house.

pls. help.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
