Sup Fellas i just got a 95 mercury mystique (4 cyl, 2.0) and i got a few problems which i knew about and knew were fixable but i need a few pointers...

I think the tranny is just about shot or something is messed up with it cuz it dont shift untill like 5000 rpms or if i let my foot of the gas it will shift, any suggestions there?

And just today the engine seems to not have that much power, when i put my foot on the gas it takes a few seconds for it to go, it is like a delays reaction, i put new spark plugs and wires and a new fuel filter on and it didnt fix it so i have no clue, so i need some help there.... other than that the car seems to be fine, i only bought the car for a grand cuz the guy didnt know what was wrong with it but i figured if i had to put 500-700 dollars worth of work into it, it would run for a few years and i would get my moneys worth and alot more, but anyways can you please give me some pointers thx alot buys
