Q: Catalytic converter issue?

asked by on February 11, 2017

Yes, my car was driving fine without no problems, and later on when driving yesterday; my car strarted slowing down on it's own. Also making noise like it was something clogging my gas pipe. But after it stopped. Later on I went to start it up it would come on without a problem with no check engine light , it would start up just fine but shortly afterwards it would cut off on it's own again. I was wondering if it could be that it needs to be relearned? I need some help. Asap
