Consumer Description

WHEN I START THE CAR WITH THE ENGINE COLD, AS SOON AS THE CHOKE TURNS OFF, THE ENGINES DIES, I HAVE TO TAP THE ACCELERATOR TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING. ONCE THE ENGINE IS OPERATING TEMPERATURE, I SHIFT THE TRANSAXLE INTO PARK, AND THE IDLE SHOOTS UP TO 2000 RPMS, THE ENGINE IDLES UP AND DOWN WHILE THE CAR IS IN PARK. THE IDLE ALSO DROP TEMPORARILY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED THIS STARTED HAPPENING DURING THE LAST WEEK WHEN THE WEATHER TURNED HOT FOR THE SUMMER.*AK
