I checked the codes. 2 came up. 0500 which is speed sensor, and 0420 which is catalyst under threshold. So I googled that, catalytic converter, 02, or bent exhaust. I have a crushed down pipe, so maybe that's it. Creating too much back pressure, but is been crushed for a long time, and this is a more recent issue.
So any update? Did you figure it out or what?

And if I am not mistaken, there is a TSB on the cats so you should be eligible for a free replacement.
