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.

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.
