any check engine light? MOST, auto parts and dealers will tell you what the code is so you can trouble shoot from there... try to keep the rig running when the light is on, otherwise the computer will store the active code and it's harder to trouble shoot.

Funny, My caddy 2008, limp mode for 3 weeks. Finally found out the magnets on the wheels had fallen off or broken, so the car could tell how fast it was going, replaced all magnets, $75 each, PERFECT, 3 months later still perfect.
