I scanned my car with a OBD2 sensor I bought at a local Walmart. I am no car guy so I am figuring it out as I go but hit a roadblock. When I am driving my car it is not shifting properly and does not want to go over forty mph. The Error codes I got on my O2 scanner where for the camshaft sensor and the throttle position sensor. I replaced the throttle position sensor and still have the issue. It idles higher than normal as well even after it warms up. If there is anything else I need to provide to help find some answer just ask and I will go get it. I am just trying to get my baby running smooth again.

Much thanks to those who take the time to read.

Hello,

If the catalytic converter is partially plugged it will cause the problem you are describing. Here is a guide to help you test if this could be the problem.
