I have a 2006 kia rio?

[koreyv]

When i was driving today my car started to act funny.It would hit about 3000 rpms then act like it was boging down.Then i would be doing 50 the posted speed limit and my car was at about 1100 rpms and the pedal would feel like you had to push it down really far to get the car to move.Then when it finally moved it would shake really hard back and forth like it was getting no gas and was reving itself to 5000 rpms befor shifting.I am no car guy i have no idea what this could be but i dont want to drive it until i know it is safe to take to a repair shop.

why did u buy Kia?
they arent known for reliability.... lol

first, when you said they were revving to 5000 before shifting: did you let your feet off the gas so it can shift? or did u have your feet on the gas the whole time?

from what i can tell, it can be a bad fuel pump, or spark plugs...
just hope its not the tranny. 06 sounds a little too early for any other break down. but then again, it a Kia... next time, go with jap car...

im sure you can drive it.
just keep the speed low, let your foot off the gas so it shifts early.
