My car would lose power going uphills on freeway. The speed would just go all way down to 35 mph. It never stalled and always started until one day it just didn't want to start. Does that sound like the crank sensor?

Good morning,

No, it does not. It will not cause a low power issue.

I am thinking more of a clogged catalytic converter or low fuel pressure but needs to be confirmed.

If it was the sensor, it would code. Do you have any codes set?
