Is your check engine light on?

I just saw your other thread. Your car is in limp mode. Your car has detected a malfunction that could cause damage to the engine if driven too aggressively. Find out the error codes to determine the cause of your problem. Use an OBDII reader or some auto parts stores will read them for free.

I think you need to throw in the towel and bring it to someone who knows how to diagnose
