Good morning,

Can you give me the code that s set? A parts store will read the code for free or you could get a cheap code reader for this. Once I know the codes, I can narrow the area of failure.

As far as the low power, I would start with checking the fuel pressure to be sure sufficient fuel is being delivered to the fuel rail.

The other thing is the catalytic converters. If they are clogged, it will do this.
