Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running? If so, have you checked for trouble codes? Here is a quick video:

Next, a loss of power can be caused by several things. Things such as low fuel pressure, a plugged catalytic converter, and many other things can do it. Take a look through this link.

Let me know if any of this helps.

Take care,
Joe
