Car struggles at startup, and bogs on the first move

09-14-2002, 01:16 AM

Lately I've noticed my car kinda struggling when I crank it. The engine turns over fine, but then it seems like it starts to choke. Also, the first time I move it after it's been off for a while (overnight or at work) it bogs down and I have to push the clutch in and add throttle just to keep it from choking off. Any ideas?

mine does this too a little... my guess is the cold does this, and the engine needs to be warmed up.. when i shift to second for the first time, it hesitates and bogs.

Try revving it a few times after you start it.
