its not running at all rate now and its still sitting at autozone haha
but there is other problems that i didnt mention becuz i think the turbo is shot
the car does NOT take off at all, it bogs real bad when i shift if i give it gas i dont even think it accellerate unless im like in 1st ohh and a couple times it would jerk and kinda take off as if i shifted down but i didnt now this is everything that happen in about the 30 mins that it was running becasue i just picked it up today
but it was starting fine, then it took a few times to turn over before it would start, now it doesnt even turn over
