Either take it to a shop and have the EXHAUST back pressure tested, or unbolt the exhaust pipe from the manifold and drive it to see if it improves. A plugged exhaust can give a NO power situation.

Sounds more like a transmission problem than engine, especially if it runs fine in the other gears.

Really SLOW acceleration under D
I thought about tranny, but I can't understand why it would work normal in L and 2, and not in D.
Isn't L and 2 the same physical 1st and 2nd gears under D? |

Well your selector may be out of adjustment and for some reason not starting out in 1st gear when put in D. Or it might be an internal problem. But if it runs pretty good in the other two gears then I would count out the engine as being a problem.

When you drive the car in 1st or 2nd, if you can rev up to 5k rpm for a few seconds, then the exhaust is not likely clogged. Also, if it does this smoothly, without misfires and stumbles, then the ignition and fuel system are likely ok.
So...if it seems sluggish in D (drive), then likely the transmission is starting out in 2nd or 3rd. That would be likely be either a ETC (electronic Transmission Control) computer, or shift solenoid problem. It can be diagnosed by a reputable tranny repair shop. There is a very good chance that it can be repair without a complete overhaul. The problem for you also is....finding a shop/technician that KNOWS how to diagnose. Most just want to rebuild, figuring that it will get fixed along the way. The same is true with engine electronic problems. Finding a KNOWLEDGABLE tech can be frustrating, and costly.

i know in Hondas some of the Shift soleniods in the auto trannys will go bad and make the trans skip gears and do weird stuff.
take it back and buy a 5 speed |
