Another Gremlin in the car....recently started Anyone ever have this strange thing happen?
On almost every start-up when I put it in "D" to drive away the engine sputters and almost dies for about 5-10 seconds, the gas pedal does nothing at all during this period.
Than all of a sudden...BAM...its back and I can drive away normally and continue driving normally. It won't do it again until the car is shut down and started up again.
****Fuel filter, spark plugs were changed last month. I ran two cans of Sea Foam through my fuel system so I would think the injectors are clean (maybe I need a real cleaning), this has been happening for a little over 1 month.
