    Slow down lite is supposed to indicate cat overheat. However I hear that these cars are prone to faulty control units.

    Could be a sensor, you might try switching them to see if the slow down light changes to the other bank.

    Sounds like the ECU finally crapped. They are mounted on top of the right rear wheel well, try switching the left one and the right one and see what happens.
