Default -96 2.5 automatic le

Hi, and sorry for bad english ( im from finland, and new here)

I have -96 Chrysler (Dodge) Stratus 2.5 le.

And my problem is lack of power when i kick gas pedal on floor.
There are new spark plugs, and new gas pump installed. It starts perfectly, idles nice about 750 rmp, but when i push gas pedal, it wont rev over about 4000rmp. When driving on highway or motorway and i try to pass some one, i kick pedal to floor and kickdown works, it changes smaller gear perfectly, but nothing happens?!? it just wont rev up? about 1/2 area of gas works.

And no fault codes ( 12 33 55) 33 is my mistake for taking of ac wires, i just havent resetted it yet.

Welcome to DF
My first guess would be a plugged exhaust system.

Default thanx

Thats what i have thinked about too.. thanks for quite quick reply.

Is there a quick way to check exhaust ( just take exhaust off and start?)?
i think it is catalysator that gives me grey hairs....

I needed to ask here first `cos here in finland chrysler / dodge spare parts costs A LOT... for example new gas pump 250 euros up to 450 euros.
