Consumer Description

THE CAR WAS NOT USED FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS OR SO. WHEN I STARTED IT, IT EXHIBITED A "ROUGH ENGINE START" FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE GAS ENGINE INITIATED AND LASTED FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. DURING THIS TIME THE ENGINE MADE A VERY LOUD NOISE AS IF THE CAR WAS CHOCKING AND ENGINE WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR'S HOOD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONLY ONCE. THE CAR STOPPED MAKING THE NOISE AFTER 10SECONDS OR SO. *TR
