Welcome to 2CarPros.

The most common causes of power loss include (but not limited to) a weak fuel pump, plugged catalytic converter, or a plugged fuel filter.

Let me know what model this is and the correct engine size. I will try to look for any bulletins and other things that my be helpful.

If you want, here are a few links that explain the things I mentioned and how to check.
