When starting the car, I can put the shifter in drive or reverse. The problem arises when it hesitates and takes a moment to drive forward or reverse. It idles very high and when driving on the express way, the transaxel light comes on and flashes. Also, when coming to a stop at a light, it will hesitate and idle high when trying to accelerate again. Sometimes it will take at least 30 seconds or more before it accelerate. Please advise.
