my car sometimes has a hard time starting then after it starts vibrating in the engine and the rpms go up and it runs fine around 1300 rpm. Then when it goes below 1000 rpm it vibrates really bad and it surges back and forth then when i put the car in drive the idle speeds go up and down and the car keeps trying to jerk forward.
