What kind of vehicle do you got

1. Check if the ECU is throwing any error codes. Could be 2. O2 sensor(s) or/and clogged Cat converter 3. Dirty air cleaner 4. leaking injectors 5. Worn or broken rings: check the wet and dry compression. Might even be the ECU itself, running in "limp" mode because of a partial board failure.

Have a dealer check you computer. That controls the fuel regulation

run the fault codes. Check the colour of the oil and if it is a tan colour the change the transmission oil

Odd effects like this are often caused by poor grounds somewhere, and can be quite hard to locate. Go over all the connectors in the engine bay and remove/replace (R/R) them.

check tests in the FSM book yet? when you get a tranny code, there are tests to do. to find out if. the voltage to the solenoid are wrong. the coil open or the valve dead. or if the tranny is slipping and fooling the TCM. 31 LR solenoid opened read the in the FSM, it shows you what to test. on some A/t you can force it into manual mode and driver and shift manually (I have a test box, i made that does that to all cars) but you can do that and check for tranny slip and see that all solenoid infact work and can hold a gear. keep in mind the TCM is stupid as a brick it cant tell of tranny slips , if the solenoid is dead 6 ways from sunday in many cases, only that the RPM in the tail shaft is wrong. some can check the solenoid voltage. the FSM tells you if that is true or not, so not looking and reading that first makes tests harder.

i think this would be an expensive excersise,try removing the fuse to the central locking , because if you change the immobiliser system you will loose the central/power locking any way, i don't know what problems your experiencing but i've done this on our hyundai coupe because of immobiliser problems and unlocking drivers door manually ie with the key has cured our problem ,worth a try i'd have thought
