Loses power over 30

Sporadic issue when you try and go over 30-40 mph. The car loses power and that is as fast as it will go.. The only light on the dash is anti lock and awd disabled (I assume I have a bad wheel bearing - and the light has been on for months).

I changed the fuel filter and this helped for a day. I also added some fuel treatent in case there was water in the tank.

It also seams to do better (will go faster) after the car is driven a bit...not just warmed up but driven....

Can the anti-lock/ awd disabled light make it so the car will not go faster than 30?
Any other ideas? Could this be a blocked catalytic convertor? Would that cause sporadic power loss?

This sounds very much like the cat is plugging up. But it could be a fuel pressure issue. Before replacing the cat have the fuel pressure checked to see if it is correct. The lights are clearly due to a bad wheel bearing and if it were frozen you would know it as the wheel would not turn not just slow you down.

Re: Loses power over 30

Just wondering if you ever figured your acceleration problem out. My aztek is doing the same thing but at different speeds all the time. I have recently replaced catalytic convertor whick solved the problem for a while but now 8 months later its acting up again. I occasionally use seafoam and things like that to clean the fuel system and relieve it of water but I am clueless on where to start this time. any pointers. Could it be any sensors. I have the same anti-lock problem, did that fix it?? Please Help?
