What aftermarket parts? Is it automatic or manual?

^ Right across the river in Clarksville.
Sorry to hijack. I'd have a computer check run on it. I'm assuming that you haven't recently installed any mods? If not, then you don't really have any trial-and-error information. There are a lot of conditions that will throw the car into "limp mode".

I really think your best bet is to get it on a computer. You could drive yourself nuts trying to diagnose a problem. Especially since the car is new to you.

Totally agree here. If the CEL light is on are there any other lights on? Did the car receive any kind of jolt, maybe from a bad shift?

Just a suggestion. Put a subject in the subject line like
Squeaking brakes
instead of
Help
Need help immediately
or
If you don't help right away I will die!
