and hopefully we will have folks with more expreience with juicy parts chime in as well
Well I basically came to a complete stop at a stop sign, and as my usual lead footed self I accelerated to continue on my way, but I felt the car strained. I turned on Torque on my dash and saw that the engine load was at 60% with 2k rpms, not normal. It seemed like if I layed off the gas and gently pushed on it, it would accelerate slowly, but steadily. If I floored it, it would stay at the same low speed and kinda stutter. The A/C hasn't been used since I got it running again because it went bad (I had another thread about that)
