blank egr off and see if it gets any better

On vehicles that do not have a electric submerged intank primer pumps , the main hp pump has a vaccum section built on to it , best way to check for air ingress is to 'clear pipe it up ' you break into the lines at the hp pump ... feed and return ...it is then possible to see the fuel flow and which way any air bubbles are migrating rather than randomly guessing at parts like i see on all owners forums .....have this mantra ...."what if i fit part X and it does not fix it then what ?? Test not guess .....everything is testable...you just have to have the knowledge how to and the correct kit .....if you do not have the correct kit then it just boils down to 'guess a part' till the customer runs out if money like i see nearly every day at work

Also the engine light being on , what kind of code reader was used ? If the light is on there must be a stored code , was it just an obd scanner type , you need a dedicated manufacturer specific as this will search the address protocol for manufacturer specific codes . We have an autel tool which is pretty good on chrysler

So to be clear ....you say it had no power in other gears apart from 3rd ....so is it a slipping feeling ...does it have any drive in 4th , the forward clutch packs often share 2 gears , the revs build but no power to the road ? When you drained the auto oil ...was it black and smelled of burned toast ? if you would of drained it into a container and let it settle you would of seen the black powerdery clutch plate material sat at the bottom . Generally with autos if you get slipping sensations and loss of drive if the oil level is good the damage is already done ....oil changes or solenoid pack changes will not fix it , the forward clutch packs have lost so much material they cannot clamp and allow drive . Does it have drive in reverse ?
