Man if you want help ou'll need to give a us a lot more info than that. Not being able to reach 100km/h would mean the engine is making less than a quarter what it should, which would indicate a serious problem. Is it misfiring or hesitating? Is is doing anything obviously unusual? Funny sounds or smells?

Check your compression. Sounds like you're facing a rebuild in the very near future.

Check your catalytic converter. It might be melted.

nothing unusual, shifting at 3000 rpm every time, but when I was driving at 95 km/h the rpm was at 1500. The car works perfectly, just failed emissions though.

sounds good but I sure hope I don't have low compression, requiring rebuild or new cats, just spent so much on exhausts and need tires. The engine already had a rebuild once now I'm at 250,000 km.
