You can have your dad remove the intake tube and clean the throttle body plate and opening with some carb spray and a brush really easy to do.

So the throttle body could make the car shudder at idle but not the lag at first acceleration?

It can effect idle if the throttle. Plate isnt getting a good seal all the way around. Also if the throttle plate is sticking it can feel like a lag when first stepping on the gas and opening the sticking throttle plate. Give the throttle plate in the throttle body opening a good cleaning and see how it runs.

So last night my dad took the car on the interstate and opened it up going 90 mph. He was impressed that the car shifts so well going those speeds, well since then the car is doing a lot better. Last night we also bought the CRC to clean the throttle body. This Sunday he said he's gonna teach me how to take off the throttle body to clean it. I'll let you know afterwards about the progress of the car.

So last night we purchased the CRC from Advanced and my dad took it out on the interstate going about 90 (lol). He was impressed with the way the car eased into gear. After that it's been doing great so on Sunday my dad is going to teach me how to take off the throttle body and how to clean it. I'll let you know what happens with the car afterwards. ;P

Hey guys, just got something new. Well not new, it seemed every time I started my car in the morning there was this gas smell. So today, my girlfriend drove it and there was a faint white smoke coming out like really faint and then it went away as soon as she started driving. My dad is ****ed at me for telling him all these things wrong with the car. Now, he thinks it's the Sea Foam burning off in the fuel tank but I think it's something else.I NEED this car.

So he took off the air in take and cleaned the throttle body. Just refilled yesterday at BP as opposed to Wawa. Also burned out all of the Sea Foam in the tank.I really don't want to jinx it but after burning the Sea Foam out of the car, there has been no hesitation or shudder. I was so scared to fill it because that's when it acted up the most but it's been fine.

Glad to hear its running better sounds like it was most likely just some water in the tank.
