Hello I’m A New Member I have a question I have a 2002 Monte Carlo LS and when I accelerate my rpm goes up but the car doesn’t take action as it suppose I have a lot of new parts installed such as spark plugs and wires, pcv valve, but the only thing I haven’t change was the ignition coils

Welcome to the forum!

If your engine revs, but the car doesn't move, it should be transmission related.
