My 2001 Monte Carlo did the same and I had to replace the catalitic converter at 44000 miles. I got the "high flow" type. I also replace the fuel filter every 30000 miles.
I hope this helps you.

To reset "CHANGE OIL" light, turn the ignition switch to the run position without starting the engine. Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. and wait for the light to flash. Check your manual it maybe slightly different. Real easy fix.

My 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix barely moves!!!!

Have you ever had the catalytic converter changed. Over time the pellets inside will melt together and this will make the care very very sluggish like it does not want to run. You may want to try that.
