If it revs and doesn't accellerate, it sounds related to the transmission. Make sure the fluid is clean and full. If the check engine light has come on, have the computer scanned to identify trouble codes. Most parts stores will do it for free. Finally, have a trans tech rind in the car with you to confirm my theory.
