Im guessing yours is a 2001/2002 PT? if it's been 5 years, you're out of luck with the warranty~ I had the same problem with the acceleration/rph issues 3 months ago, and it turns out to be the transmission's computer module that caused my auto tranny get stuck in 2nd gear. I had to pay $355.00 out of my pocket to replace the module, as the government don't cover computerized modules for anything in the car. Since the replacement, I'm running fine.
And I dunno about anyone here, but wasn't there a DIY in getting the computer codes..? I had to pay $90.00 for the diagnosis, when I coulda known about getting the codes myself.
On topic: there's all kinds of tips on getting rid of tape marks--it'd be cool if there's a before/after pics to show for it, and what was done to get rid of it.
edit: I forgot to add that I had spark plugs and fuel injector cleaner and the air filter replaced, thinking that it'll help with the acceleration/rph problems, but showing the engine light to my friend, he realized it's the transmission problem, so once I had the module replaced, the tranny problem disappear. If I were you, I'd get the computer codes FIRST before you go in for replacement/repairs.
