96 420a manual

Started losing torque days ago. Very slow to go, requires higher rev to go. On Friday, it got worse and while driving, the oil light came on. Oil was a quart low, added a quart and the light went off, headed home, oil light came back on. No leaks, oil is still full, engine light isn't on, and the only thing that i did to the car is put a cold air intake on it. Feels like the car is in limp mode. Only thing i can think is possibly the sensor? I am a courier and use this car for work at the moment. Need help quick. Anything you can think of would help.
 
Is it smoking? said you added oil and it was low when you headed home. if your oil light came on with oil full is it low on oil pressure?
 
He's a 420a so no maf. Is your check engine light on?
