Hey! I'm fairly new to cars. I got this one in november last year. And since then I have had so many problems with it!

#1. It has a flat spot. When I put my foot on the accelerator, It goes really really slow. And revs soooo much!

#2. After I stop at traffic lights, and have to go again, my car doesn not want to go anywhere! I put my foot down and again it revs soooo much ! It goes to that 3000 rpm and I look at the speed and it's only doing about 40km/h! After a while, it finally speeds up. Possibly a transmission thing?

#3. It's terrible on fuel! Are all 929s bad on fuel. I put $20 worth of petrol in it, and it gets me about 35kms and that's it!

#4. WHere does all my petrol go? When my car is half full. And I park it, and when I start it again. It says I only have 1/4! How can that be?

#5. When I have to reverse. It won't move if I tap the accelerator. I have to put put my foot down on it hard.


are these common probs with 929s?
any advice on what I should do to fix this? Thanks in advance

When was the last time it was tuned-up and transmission fluid/filter changed and level check.

Could be a throttle position sensor problem and also affecting the operation of the transmission bcuz the computer is not getting the signal from the TPS simulated signal to represent throttle pressure. Also the VSS as the governor pressure.

Last could be an excessive backpressure in the exhaust system. Get all these checked-up and comeback.
