i have a dodge shadow and have a strangre problem the thing is i just bought it its a 94 Dodge Shadow 6cil 3.0, the first problem is that the car temperature take to much time to get to the normal spot, then when you are taking a ride it shifts sometimes ok sometimes it take to much time to make the shift, and losses acceleration force, i have the pedal steped on all the way and it barely goes, then suddenly it gets the power. whan then the check engine pops and and the shifting power comes agian.

Already changed the trans oil filter, the fuel filter, what could cause the problems ?

you might need a thermostat for heat and a speed sensor for trans. have codes read to see what they say.
