i just took it to have the oil pressure checked and oil changed and the pressure was good. but when at a stop light it acts like it is getting to much gas it tries to go when i have the break pressed the plugs were changed about a month ago. and the wires bout 6months ago. i cant afford to take it to a mechanic to do the test on it. that is about 100 - 150 just to put it on computer.
