Car ECM will keep in its memory what is happened
so a quick scan should tell why your lights on
as for its way of running
I would check fuel pressure check tune up
check cat. conv. operation
good luck

Try loosening the exhaust before the cat and see if it wil go over 40, if it does the cat is partially plugged
