So there is somethings on my p5 that has me concerned....
1. Today my car has been struggling to go when coming from a stop. It'll hesitate, kind of choke and finally catch gear and drive. Sometimes it makes an annoying screech like those cars with the messed up AC compressor but not as long. But the choking has me REALLY concerned.
2. My Car is idling well below 1000 rpms.. (500)
3. My car (automatic) is shifting from 1st to second and so on in between 3 and 4000 Rpms, mostly around 4
I dont live in cold weather and my transmission fluid is nice and red, I also have no check engine lights on.
I barely messed with the car, I replaced my headlight, fixed my ac and for some dumb reason the part on the valve cover over the sparkplugs which is used to catch and pull it out I messed with it a bit, and if thats the reason I'll get someone to give me a slap in the hand...
This is my first car.. any opinions help.
