Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED MANY TIMES, WITH NO SUCCESS IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CAR DIES. IT ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. DURING THE FIRST FEW OCCURRENCES THE CAR WOULD RUN FINE AFTER I REVVED THE ENGINE A FEW TIMES. HOWEVER, FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS (AND PRESENTLY) THE PROBLEM DOES NOT GO AWAY AFTER THE ENGINE IS REVVED NOR DOES IT MAKE IT VERY EASY TO DRIVE. ONCE I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE PEDAL AND THE RPM'S DECREASE, THE CAR DIES ON ME...WHETHER IT BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION OR ANY PLACE. *AK
