When trying to pass a car on the highway, my car lost power. After stopping or slowing down, I pretty much have to step on it to get up to 20 mph. My manifold was cracked and after research it said that could be the problem so I had it replaced. The engine light is still on and my car is continuing to do the same thing. Now it won't even gain enough power to reverse uphill and I can't back out of my driveway. Any ideas?

Hi,

This could be a couple things that are outlined in this guide. However, let's start with getting codes pulled so we are not chasing wrong paths. The codes will tell us which system is involved. If you cannot pull codes, you can get most any parts store to get them free of charge.
