Try resetting the pcm, if you have an adjustable wrench, pull the negative battery cable for a couple minutes, reattach and test drive it

Won't go out of first or just bogs out? Could be the transmission is in limp mode...really clogged cat...Any codes? More info please? Remove front 02 and see if it improves.
