catalytic converter, egr valve, oxygen sensors. If you have that many miles on it, try loosening the exhaust before the cat converter and try driving it. If your power has come back, then it has failed internally.

let the engine cool down enough to be able to take radiator cap off ... start car and see if there are any air bubbles coming out of the top - if there is then the leak is between combustion chamber and coolant port in join where gasket is - but if not then compression test will be needed but it may well be something else such as a module (eg air flow meter, oxygen sensor, fuel pump or bad spark...run a code reader on the electronic control unit if needed)

Sounds like a blend door stuck.

I am told it is a relay in emergency flasher circuit. The quick fix is to activate emergency flashers just for a few cylcles , a minute or two after car has been running. The directionals will work fine for the duration of that ride. I have heard of peolple remvoving trim to get at switch, cleaning contacts and components of switch, but symptom eventually re-appeared. Cycling through e-flashers a few times works every time for me. - Rick Rock

its the safest and correct way to charge it but you can charge it also in vehicle

S heck the linkage at the transmission to make sure it is moving with the gear shifter. If it is your transmission is probably shot. If not then you have a bushing in the li kage that is bad.

Get it towed. Sorry to sound like a jerk.
