Icon6 99 EM1 losing power at freeway speeds....

hey fellas need some help got a 99 EM1, have had some trouble lately, fixed one but now got a re-occuring problem with power ..... Problem is: car seems to run around fine at around town speeds, BUT soon as I get on the freeway and hit about 70-80 mph, the car jus bogs down (but keeps running, just no power). When it did this today? I pulled off the freeway let it get back to idle put it in first gear, then took off.

Earlier in the morning after it warmed up, the motor at around V-TEC? Seemed flat....... cars known to pull til like 8200 rpm but now like fizzles out around 7-75k rpm anybody got any ideas?? or have you had siumiliar problem. Plus, the speedo went out too..... .

Pull the CEL code again to see whether a new one has popped up.
