Let me take a stab at this...

Do the 4 pipes connect the transmission to the front wheels? If not, what is on the other end of the pipes?

Can you push the car by hand or with a friend when the transmission is in neutral? or is the car stuck and no way will it move?

Can the car move backward when the transmission is in reverse gear? Do you have enough oil in the transmission? How do you know?

Does the engine and the mp3 player shut off at the same time or are they two different problems?

When the mp3 player shuts off, and you turn the headlights on, are the headlights real dim? or are they bright?

How old is your battery?

When was the last time you drove the car? Tell me everything you did to it after you last drove it.

yes i can move it in netruel, reverse if i press hard enoug 4 the rpm metor 2 go up high than yes it will move but only a few inches. the pipes r connected 2 something that has 3 big letters on it, EFI going back into the transsmission. i checked all my fluids and they all seem 2 be fine mp3 player is different all that is that the amp keeps shutting off not the cd player.

and well 1 time i was in a rush and i had 2 put transsmission fluid in but i found out a few days later it was oil that i had put in and with out doen a flush i had put in 3 qourts of atfthe right stuff this time and i relized that all of it was on the drive way in like puddles. my car shut off only from the engine but everything that uses power is still on hope this provides some good info. oh ad the battery is brand new, with new terms on them besides the neg.

are you saying there is engine oil in your transmission? That would be where I would start.

And, I don't mean to offend, but it is really hard to figure out what you are trying to say. Can you please take the time to be a little more clear in your writing. You know, like using periods, and typing out the word "to"...

I agree. Flush the transmission to get out all the engine oil. Draining the pan will not get it all out. Most of the fluid will remain in the valve body and the torque converter. I don't know how much engine oil you can leave in the transmission and still have a reliable car, but it's not much.

Also, you won't find intake runners or plenum or whatever in an auto parts store. Get one from a salvage yard - they don't normally wear out.
