I had this problem recently and for me it was a Bad Catalytic converter. It would sound like it was high revving at 2700~ and I would lose power and momentum, couldn't get it to get past 65mph... Cut out the catalytic and put it on a straight pipe to be sure and of course it runs like new... This happened with my previous dodge Dakota, which I miss and it was the same thing, bad catalytic. Hope this helps.

My engine started acting weird sometimes. So the "Check Engine" light comes on and the engine will not go beyond 3000 RPM even when I am driving. Sometimes it will even stop while driving (but it will start again by itself since the car is still moving) or when I stop at traffic lights. And this keeps on happening like once or twice a day, and most of the time it is working fine and no "check engine". Not sure what is wrong with it.
Here i posted a video of the gauges when it happened and as you can see that it will not go beyond 3000 RPM.

Is it an easy to fix thing? or should I start looking for another car?
