Hi,

Power loss can be the result of a few things. For example, an internal engine condition, fuel pressure issues, a clogged catalytic converter, and so on.

So, the best place to start would be if the check engine light stays on or flashes when the engine is running. If it does, we need to have the computer scanned. If you don't have one, most parts stores will do it free of charge.

Here is a link explaining how to scan all modules:

If it is unsafe to drive and you don't have access to one, let me know. Also, let me know if there are any odd sounds, or odors, if the exhaust smells differently, or if anything has changed other than the power loss. Additionally, let me know if the mileage you indicated is correct and the engine size. See pic below.

Let me know.

Joe
