Transmission problems
the transmission sensors were replaced recently and worked fine and the car shifted, then the car sat for a month and now the car wont shift and it goes into limp home mode where it doesnt go much more then 30mph. Anyone have any idea what to do? I need to get it going quick.

Sound like the MAF to me if your lucky.
OPen, spray liberally with CRC Maf cleaner or contact cleaner, shake dry. See how you go.
