It could be a fuel injector problem on cylinder 5. Sounds like a failed injector. Run a compression check on that cylinder to make sure you have at least 100psi. Anything less than that would lead to either a burnt valve or a piston ring issue. Doing a compression check first will save you a lot of money.

i had sme prob remove the cd changer from dash disconect the wires plug them back in and that shoud fix it as for directions to removeing the changer the istructions are on the net.

Open the right/rear door. Pull the rubber weatherstrip back from the door opening. Fold the right/rear seat back down into a locked position, in order to access to the right/rear trim panel. Carefully, pry the right/rear upper trim panel housing the right/rear seat belt height adjuster. Now carefully pry back the lower trim panel taking care now to break it, exposing the vehicle security module with three connectors plugged into it, coloured green, blue, and grey. Look on the label that has the part number which should end in EB. There are FIVE numbers to the right of that number. Those five numbers are your keyless entry keypad code.

there should be a small tab you depress and it drops the panel down for access.

bad transmission maybe. Try going into a lower gear (2 or 1) and giving it a little gas and holding it there. (about 2500 rpm) Hold it there for about 30 seconds.
If it still doesnt move, look under at the side of the transmission where the shifter cable connects and make sure it is moving.
Make sure the brake is on and the wheels are blocked and have a friend shift it back and forth while you look.
Sometimes, the connection pin comes out and you wont shift. .
If it does move right away, head to the transmission shop.
