About 3 weeks ago my car started idling funny. The needle always shows around 900 but when I got it inspected, the dyno said it was jumping down to 700 and back. Also, when I take off from a dead start in first gear, it is almost like I have the AC on, it takes a while to start moving. If I have the AC on, it took me almost 3 seconds to get any HP at all.
Also, when accelerating, the car is much more sluggish than before. After I get to around 3000 RPM's in 2nd or 3rd gear, its like the HP jumps back in but then sputters randomly. I don't know what to do and I don't have much money! -------------------- |

Well I have a really new master and slave cylinder but never my clutch.
I'm gonna let my dad drive it around today and maybe bring it in the shop next week. Do you guys think this might be something that would seriously harm the car by driving it more? -------------------- |
