When the key is put into the ignition of the car n the speed of the car decreases. When I start up the engine there is a warning signal for the engine on the dashboard an doesn't disappear. The car is an automatic so when I shifted the gear into 'D' for drive the acceleration is slow n the car felt heavy n when I drive the car up a hill it will slowly decelerate n eventually will not move. Then id switch off the ignition n then start it up again n the cqr would do the same thing all over again.

The Malfunction Indicator Light is telling you an error has been deteced in the engine management system and you need a scan tool to retrieve the trouble code to find out what is causing the problem.
