I would start with basic like Change your spark plugs, check your spark plug wires and see one may have detach itself, check AFM if its connected correctly, check connections on Battery and plug on alternator, And last but not least do a compression check. Also does the car smoke allot?

Sounds like one of the cats broke apart and clogged up further down stream.
