Just started this. The car starts normal and runs great until it gets to temp or about 20 miles, then it begins bogging down. Has no power under load,(going up hill or giving extra gas), will load up then backfire, slowly losing power and speed, then cannot get gas to it at all, eventually shutting down. After sitting for a few hours will do the same thing again.

    sounds like catalytic converter has failed/clogged.
