My car did the same. I changed the spark plugs first but after that didn't fully work I changed the coil pack. Now she's running smooth. Good luck.

you must change the catalytic converter it is plugged up with junk. buy on line, no welding neccessary just bolts to unscrew. cost is from 88 to 147 dollars. make sure you look under your car to see if it bolted at both ends from flex neck to muffler.

I'm currently working on this exact problem plus intermittent will not start issues as well. and the catalytic converter is not a likely candidate to fix this whatsoever. may as well have said change the rear side fuel amplifier and see if the warp factor increases or see the negative horse power cable is loose.
