Consumer Description

I STARTED MY CAR ON SUNDAY AUGUST 3, 2014 AND THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER, AFTER WAITING A MINUTE THE CAR STARTED. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 20 MPH EVEN WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE PETAL. I TOOK MY CAR TO OREILLY AUTO PARTS AND HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT READ. I HAD ALL NEW SPARK PLUGS (BASED OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT READING) PUT IN THE VEHICLE AND I'M STILL NOT ABLE TO DRIVE OVER 20 MPH. MY CAR IS NOW CUTTING OFF AT THE LIGHT AND NOT THE HIGHEST SPEED IS 20 MPH. I KEEP GETTING A LIGHTING BOLT MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE MESSAGE EVEN THOUGH ALL THE CODES HAVE BEEN CLEARED. *TR
