1997 Oldsmobile Achieva Two Wheel Drive Automatic 203,20 miles

the car was running good, then all at once it lost power, don't seem to want to go over 45-50 mph when it dose it will go to 60 for about 10 min then slow down again, Engine light stays on, had oil & everything changed, still do pickup & go like before. The manafold pipe or what ever it is under the car was bright red when I stopped the car. Don't have a picture of the car
