funky acting car
Sunday, October 09, 2011 11:10 AM
I've looked all over the site and cant find anything close to whats going on with my car.

First it started with it running fun turn the car off, run in a store run out and then it would turn over start to try and then battery died, fixed that problem (i think) with a new battery stud.
Now it ides fine on start up but once i hit the gas and get RPM's it sits at 2000-3000 RPM till i stop then goes to idle. im thinking it has to do with some thing with the computer because it got reset with the battery problem.
I do know i have a check engine lite and it says down stream O2 sensor and minor evap leak (the leak is random on and off). ALSO the fuel pump i can hear working so i think it could be that anyone have any similar issue to help me check i am going to school for automotive so i am very mechanically inclined,

I had similar problems. Slow start up after short trips, piccadilly rough idle, and mostly the rpm stocking after a rev. My problem was the TPS. $30 at O'Reillys and two screws.

You said "Now it ides fine on start up but once i hit the gas and get RPM's it sits at 2000-3000 RPM till i stop then goes to idle. im thinking it has to do with some thing with the computer because it got reset with the battery problem. ". Are you doing this in neutral or is all the rpm's you can get going down the road.
