I have noticed that it idles at 1 rpm and shifts hard in overdrive, take off is horrible slow rpm goes up 4. But in drive everything works fine. No problem with the a/c or any of the heating and cooling. No lights come on. Going on Monday to take to a garage to have it put on a computer to see if any codes pop up. Does anyone know what could be causing this I don't want to spend the money on the reading if it is just a lose hose. I have check all the hose that I know of but this is the newest model car I have had and there is so much computer equip involved really don't want to touch it.

many things to check
and checking for codes should be the 1st step
also check fuel pressure and IAC valve
check coil too if firing at tall cylinders
