sounds like its starving for fuel, replace the fuel filter and run some injector cleaner through us and let us know what happens.

Maybe there is a issue with the TPS ( throttle position sensor). Can you still hit redline if you floor it aka 6500rpms?

it can still rev past that if i am in park or neutral. but here is the weird part i put in a new cd player and it let me red line in drive today, so i think it is a short somewhere. now my parking lights and dash lights wont turn on either, the guy who had it before me butchered the wiring harness for the radio so i dont know what is all screwed up. i guess it is good luck to me.

it has a new o2 sensor. the speedo is off a couple mile an hour but that shouldn't affect the shift. and what is a iac hose

The ECU gets its speedo signal from the spedometer itself, since its opereted by a cable. The "reed switch" is what sends the signal.
