    So my car is really going fubar, and I need to know how I can troubleshoot it

    02 GP automatic

    pretty sure it wont shift past second, I can get it up to about 50 MPH unless Im going downhill, but when I am going up hill and try to give it more gas it bogs down, doesnt move at all, and acts like it slipped into neutral.

    Also, that same drive that this happened, my front manifolds were bright CHERRY red, it looked like a damn red neon in my engine bay

    can someone please tell me what is up, much appreciated

    Yep. Cat is plugged. Luckily GM knows of the 01-02 defects and will replace it for free if your car has less than 120,000 miles on it.
