Hey guys, i have a problem with my car - which as u all know is a pain in the ass... however im trying to sell it so that makes it even worse - people that take a car for a test drive expect it to at least run properly! * what happens is wen u put your foot down it doesnt accelerate too much until the revs get up till about 4 grand or so... then it takes off! * Also wen you go to take off from a standing start it kinda shudders and takes a while to move. It idles at about 8 - 9 rpm... but wen you put it in gear it idle alot lower (i know this is normal) but it drops till about 4 - 5 rpm. * I was thinking along the line of AFM or Timing... cos it was in the garage a while ago and i dont think they new what the fcuk they were doin, cos they didnt even fix what it went in the for - so i refuesed to pay them and went else where! Last problem was the Computer - wouldnt b that again would it?? Any thoughts on this matter would b appreciated - im at work now just trying to remember exactly wat it is doin, i dun drive it much anymore cos i hav the calais. I'll post again if i remember anything else! BTW - its a N/A 3L auto (royale) Cheers guy/gals, Jay

could well be afm. borrow a mates to check? maybe your better off getting it tuned to run nicely, and then sell it. may be a better option in the long run.
