My 1993 Saturn has lost all power coming out of first, I can't even try to spin out anymore. When it's cold, I have a little power, but when it heat up, the car goes about 2 mph coming out of first gear, the rpm raises but the speed is gradualy increasing slower. If it a steep hill, I don't even bother I just turn around. The probem is I give it gas, the rpm goes up but the speed gradualy increases very slowly. I was told to change out the o2 sensor, didn't work. I was told to put some gas treatment in the gas, didn't work. Now I was told to check exhaust system. Can someone help me please.

Is the SES light on? I go with three things to check, engine compression, fuel pressure, and exhuast, see if the converter broke up inside and some of the bed is lodged in the exhuast, choking the engine!
