This is WAY too vague. There are roughly 30 things that could cause that.

What EXACTLY is it doing?

Check engine light on?

We need more info dude.

GS300 or GS400? Does it feel like you're always in snow-mode?

Bro go to your local Advance Auto or AutoZone and get codes that's causing your CEL.... Let us know what your driving (300,400,430)..... Mileage.... Gotta give details. Ppl are not divine diagnosis readers. You need to share as much info as possible so we can all give you opinions and try to get you on the right path to fixing your problem.. Post pics of the car too!!! ... Good luck! Sounds like LIMP mode if anything....
