nope, dont even tell them, its not illegal do this, even in cali.
throw the tranny out and switch to a stick. i could be the ecu, or the tranny is shot.
any cels?

can be a spark plug wire. check your wires if your lucky one will be broken.
but the car should move atleast alittle if its the wires.
if not then u have bigger problems
MANUAL is better anyway

i had kinda the same problem but would stop at 3k.. seemed like i was trying to take off in 5th gear from a dead stop. you could be running one only 3 pistons, for sure check the spark plugs. you know how to do it?
turn on car remove spark plugs one after another.. they should be making a sparking sound and plug them all back in nice and snug... dont remove all of them together
