Clogged cat! O2 or temp sensor! Does it run fine for a few minutes after
a cold start? Does it start and idle OK when cold? If it runs good when
clod or first started, O2 sensor or wiring or ground problem. If it
starts lousy or runs lousy just after starting, check the temp circuits.

If the exhaust sounds different or it just has no power, check the cat.
