If that makes sense - It starts, (roughly, but it starts) idles fine takes off from the curb fine, but once it is warmed up, accelerate at all, and it bogs down. I was able to pull over to the curb, but it won't take off (going slightly up hill.) In neutral, I can bring the idle up to 3000 or so, but in gear it rpms won't go over 1500.

I'm going to wait until morning and see if I can get it to move in the cold back to my house.

Any suggestions?
