you should use the onboard computer to check for codes.

check the oil, if it smells burnt you have most likely done some serious damage. if its low you better put some in quick, don't even drive it till its full again. could be a really dirty air cleaner, could be the cat gone bad, kinda out there but possible all the same. if the engine is still running ok, then it might be something else. could be the brakes dragging? if you're not very car savvy, you should probably just take it in. just be sure it does have enough oil.
good luck!

Check the air filter first. If it's dirty, get a new one. Check the condition of the spark plug wiring and connectors. If they're corroded, get new ones. Check the battery posts and cables and connectors. If they're corroded, clean them with a wire brush. Check the gasoline/fuel pump filter. If it's dirty, get a new one. Check your oil level and condition, and your oil filter. If the oil is dirty (black or almost black), change the oil and filter. After all that, run a carburetor or injector cleaner chemical through the system - get it at an auto supply store and make sure you find out how to use it properly.

Sell it and buy a Ford. Seriously those new so called HEMI's aren't very good, plus they only have about half the power as the original HEMI's in the mid 1960's had.
