Only issue prior to last week was when car was filled up with gas it had a hard time starting. Holding the gas to the floor while cranking worked. (Purge valve?)
the big issue happened last week. On the return side of a 2,500 mile round trip acceleration was normal until 60 MPH then sluggish until 80 MPH where it would not go any faster. RPM's never redlined. Then there was low power on acceleration from a stop, then normal until 60 again.
May be worth mentioning that we never noticed an increase in smoke from the tailpipe.
The next day she tells me that on the way home from a 60 mile round trip the car will not accelerate past 40 MPH, the RPMs redlined and the car overheated. When cooled down, it drove the last 10 miles under 35 MPH (city driving) with only the low power/acceleration issues.
Today she took it to O'Reilly's and the codes are:
p2097, p0420, p0017, and p0008.
I am going there after work today and see if they can tell me which camshaft position sensor it is and plan on starting there.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
