When i start it if i press the gas after letting it idle back down to normal the rpm goes down instead of up and it sputters a lot... After it runs for a while it stops doing it. at first we thought it was the 5 year old gas it had in it... but 7 full tanks later its still happening.

If anyone knows what this could be please let me know.

Is this throttle hang?



Can I assume the car has been sitting for a while? Have you ran some fuel system cleaner through it? I suggest Berrymans Chem-Tool.
