I dont know whats wrong with my car. When I start my lumina it takes a few seconds. I have to hold my key cranked all the way untill it will start. When I the car is idleing it will start to chugg and will sometimes die at stop lights and stop signs. Another thing when im excelerating the car will shake untill I floor it then the shaking goes away. I just bought the car about 2 months ago and I want it to last for a couple more years.

Take a pint of tranny fluid out and replace with a pint of SeaFoam TransTune. Clean your upper intake along with your throttle position sensor and idle air control. Both can be found to the right of the intake manifold, right next to the pcv valve.
