My car will do fine when I first start it and out of the blue it will loose power and can not go up hills and thrives just to get to fifth gear. I dont know what it could be it also back fires. The cadiletic converter is drilled out because we thought that was the problem. This is my only car and I have a family of four im struggling please help. I need a car for work and going to the store to get baby milk. I need help. Thanks god bless
