    hey guys i was wondering if anyone has encountered the same issues that i have. so i get in my car and it takes an extra second or two to turn over but then after that it is fine at idle. then i put it into drive and start driving but when i try to accelerate it bogs down and doesn't do much it kinda seems to be shutting down. it seems like it is an injector, fuel line, or fuel pump issue but i would like your input and help. Thanks!

    Re: NEED HELP!! im having engine issues!

    Uh... with a title like that I expected a blown engine. Please elaborate more and fill in the details Scott asked. "Kinda seems to be shutting down" is pretty generic. Is it stalling, just bogging, does it always do it? cold vs warm? See where we are going with this, you are our eyes, ears etc.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    if you can get the car to autozone, or most parts stores do free code reading. get the code. start there. the cel holds the key to your repair.
