Default Car dies after letting off the gas, PLZ HELP
It just started happening today. Its been very hot outside, currently its 97. This is my moms car and it doesn't want to stay running. It starts up, I give it gas and it stays on, but when I let off the gas completely the car just dies. I recorded a sound clip. Please help me!
