Bad oxygen sensors. Service Engine Light is on. (this happened to me, so I am well aware). It's an expensive job to get a new catalytic converter. Good luck!!

Loud exhaust noises, less pick-up when you step on the gas.. Darker colored exhaust smoke coming out of your tail pipe...

No power, or loud rattles under car.
