New week, new problem
So after getting my car "repaired" at harris tire in churchland, shittiest place ever, my car seems to be in limp mode till it is 100% warmed up. They replaced the water pump, a remanufactured one even 
, thermostat(without my permission for their retarded price on it), a "motor mount"(the engine damper that was fine), and the timing belt to squeeze out more money from me. Would any of those things cause a problem or did they fuck something up? I am hoping they fucked something up, I like civil court.
By limp mode I mean it won't go above 15-1600 RPM and won't go past 2nd gear and sounds really strained like it is not in drive almost.

What kind of car? did they replace all of those parts without first speaking with you?
None of those replaced items should cause your car to be in limp mode.
Sounds like they stuck it in you when you weren't expecting it.

Duane, I was not gonna drive to hampton on a busted water pump lol
It is a 93 camry with a v6, they didn't tell me about the thermostat, they told my mom about the "motor mount" and she should of called me immediately about that but didn't.

Re: New week, new problem
probably spent way over original price paid on this car since I have had it. I want to get rid of it but there is literally zero return possible on it. It might be timing, when I cold start it tomorrow I will just let it warm up with the hood open so I can hear if it it missing or something lol cuz i kinda sounds like it does
