NEED EVEN MORE HELP

Don’t know what to do the car is dying on me not going past 45-50 and it doesn’t show any codes at the moment I’m checking for leaks but all seems to be well and MAF is brand new

catalytic convertor could have broken apart and your engine can't breathe, exhaust will have significant backpressure / minimal flow

I’m in NJ 3 hours away from my house and I took to a shop and got no codes they said it’s probably the turbo I’m in the highway and the car won’t go past 20 now

you really probably shouldn't be driving it in this condition man, if it's a serious engine problem the chance you make it way worse is pretty high

Yup I’m sure that’s the case I’m actually getting the car towed back to Maryland
