I have a 1999 plymouth voyager 2.4l that starts great when its cold and warmed up. When I drive and it shifts into second gear (autotrans) it loses power have not done no repairs yet.

If it stays in second gear, that's "limp" mode to allow you to drive it slowly to a repair shop without needing a tow truck. There will be at least one diagnostic fault code stored in the Transmission Computer. That code will lead to the circuit or system that need further diagnosis.
