car starts fine, idles good, but when in drive after second gear (auto) the car will not get up and go? when I try to force it it seems to be confused on whether it wants to go or slow down, at the same time the engine does not rev past normal when I apply gas.......
1. Do you think it is a clogged fuel filter?
or
2. A faulty pnp switch?
acceleration problem today?

new fuel filter today, 32bucks at autozone
drove to work and she had no shame getting up to speed ,although I only took it to work and back.
Its amazing - I have never seen so little fuel leak out from a fuel filter change, and I got worried at first cause the fuel lines were so thick, I usually vice grip the lines to keep the fuel from flowing out, but not on a 850.
Taking my time it took me 15min to jack it up and get my tools to the time I had everything put away, the 17mm open end wrench pulls off the lines perfectly!
