Did you get any paperwork with the diagnosis? Does it list what code they retrieved? It is entirely possible that the catalytic converter is plugged, which would account for a severe loss of power. On the other hand, if all they got was a "Catalyst Efficiency below threshold" code, that wouldn't explain the power loss. That would be a result, not neccessarily a cause. If an engine has been running poorly, your check engine light should be on, and it can cause the cat to plug or just plain ruin it. Loren SW Washington
