yes they open fine it just doesnt seem like it has as much power as it use to

One word that will help everything go alot faster:

Punctuation.

I couldn't even read that mess.

You need to display more info on your car.
what year is it ? how many miles ? have you replaced your
fuel pump the fuel pump screen < both of them. this makes a
world of difference. also theres a how to on the uim ans lim
cleaning in the faq section of this site i believe. try reseting your ecu, disconnect the neg batt. cable for like ten minutes and sometimes that works. or you could have gotten a tranny that was rode hard and put away wet.
