Im sorry I have a couple of questions to ask. I know NOTHING ABOUT CARS? My first question is, Inorder to start up my car I have to press the gas why is that? Do I need a new battery? And if so, will it help start it up? My next question is I can not find my transmission injector? Is there a way I can put transmission fluid in my car without going to a technicain that charges 100 bucks? I really need help.

Hello, if the cranking rpms are good, the battery is probably ok.

Can you check for codes? Some of the national brand autostores will check codes for free.

If you want to check tranny fluid and there is no dip-stick, there may be a site plug by the halfshaft, underneath.

You see the fluid level screw, you add fluid if needed at the vent cap. This info is for the transaxle in the picture.
