What is your question?
Drive nearly all day in my car, and then on my way home my car started jerking back and forth, then it almost felt like the car was stuck in 1st gear, I pulled over turned the car off and back on and it acted normal the rest of the way home. I got home to realize when the spark plugs were changed about a week prior, none of the air intake hoses were ever tighten back down, I tightened them down and drove over to my dads house and that’s about the time when my transmission started to act like it was slipping. I know this is a very good chance it’s my tranny, but is there a possibility for mass airflow sensor or anything to be really dirty? Or a system reset? I checked for codes and there was nothing, don’t have the money for a mechanic just yet and I can’t bring it down to have it checked out without having work done to it because the car won’t go very far before it feels like the tranny starts to slip.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Hills make it nearly impossible to move, when it’s warmed up it also feels like it doesn’t want to move
How long has your 2008 Ford Escape had this problem?
1 day altogether

Hello, no - it's most likely a transmission concern based on the described symptoms. Transmission operation does not depend on mass air flow information. You'll definitely need some professional guidance in that area when it becomes possible. Good luck.
