The car start fine,it idles great and revs up great in Park. However, as soon as I put it in to any other gear it bogs down and will not accelerate over 15-20 mph., I need to figure out what is causing it.

Hi,

The first thing I think of is a plugged catalytic converter. Take a look through this link and see if it mirrors what you experience.

Also, here is a link that explains how to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes from your vehicle. Do this and let me know if you find anything.

Let me know.
