[QUOTE="duellingdreams, post: 2156901, member: 149568"] Basically, I can idle the car forever and it doesn't do a damned thing...I push the gas peddle in half way and it runs SLOW, push any further and it jerks until you get far enough in that it actually runs slower than barely touching the gas peddle. It takes about a half a mile of running painfully slow before it decides to kick in. However, only tried it once because I imagine it's not gas friendly, I floored it and it took maybe ten twenty seconds to jump into working order...idk...Les Schwab found nothing when I got my new tires, a tune up, and alignment fixed and such. I guess they found that my right front inner tie rod is bent but male, car savy friends said that it should be okay on such a new car (it hardly had an miles on it when I got it) and that they were probably just trying to get money out of a stupid little teenage girl. Every one of my friends have come up with different suggestions but none have actually had the time to look inside...or the desire to pull the cover off my engine...so, what do you guys think? It's not automatic, I learned manual in it actually. It will rev in nuetral if I only push half on the throttle or if I pump, but I can't push further than halfway. And it won't fix from reving in nuetral, only driving for about a half a mile. But once everything starts up, it's fine...until I shut it off and then we start all over again unless it's only shut off for...maybe less than five minutes? [/QUOTE]
