I just got this car. It idiles very high. I use the car for paper delivering and stop offen. After a stop you can not push on the gas to it will cut off. If you just let it go by it self a second then its fine. When you shout off the car and try to start it it doesn't start unit its cold sum. It has lot of power, no smells, no noises. Any help?

Hi emmyrufus,

Thank you for the donation.

From the symptom description, you might have a problem with the idling speed and throttle control.

Items to check are MAF, throttle body and engine coolant temperature sensor.

Is the Check Engine Light showing while driving?

Did you try to retrieve for trouble codes?
