SLOW starts on my automatic...help?
Fellas, can anybody shed some intuition on my 97 SE automatic? I've noticed lately that when I am stopped in DRIVE with my foot on the brake, then let go, the car barely responds immediately and moves forward (maybe 3mph). When it was new, I would let off and it would respond quickly and idle run at about 6-8 mph. There is no rough idling or stalling, just a slllooowww start. Have 67k...is this because it's old?

maybe your throttle cable needs adjustment. i may be a little loose, the air filter is a good idea. when was the last time you changed your fuel filter and plugs?

Had the 60K (or $585) serives done at 60k on the dot, but to no avail! Gosh, how do I know they didn't do a half a$$ job? Anyway, well I cleaned my cone filter and I'll change the fuel filter this weekend and the throttle cables....I let you know if it works. Thankss for the input...
