bought this car yesterday, test drive was great, no problems or noise from engine. 20 mins. later it began to lose acceleration power, and wont go past 5-10 mph even with the pedal to the metal. a mobile mechanic at autozone said it could be my massflow air sensor? we are changing the radiator saturday, (reason we were at autozone). could it be something to do with the radiator not cooling the tranny properly? it has NOT overheated at all, no check engine light, no smoke, no knocking, just cant drive over 10mph. PLEASE help, my wife is preg. and this is our only car. thank you in advance for any help.
