    Have the TPS (throttle position sensor) checked, the ECT (engine coolant temp sensor) checked, the TV (throttle valve cable) and always check the basics like trans fluid condition and level checked.
    That's a start.

    Additionally, check the Vehicle Speed Sensor. When not replaced, vehicle may experience loss of power and/or inaccurate transmission shift points.
