My car idles really rough until I start moving. Once I start moving the car seems to "hesitate" for a second then after that it drives smooth.

Hello,

It seems like you could have a cylinder with low compression. Lets do a compression test to see what condition the engine is in.

Please run this test and get back to us so we can continue helping you.

Cheers, Ken
