Hi there,
My car is having a problem with high revving - both while idle and driving. It is having a hard time shifting gears - going up to 4 rpm before shifting (not hammering the gas - this is at about 15 km/hr), while not picking up much speed. It is only when the car is first turned on, and it drives fine after it is 100% warmed up.
I know the rev / shifting is different in colder weather, but it's acting as though i'm driving it in -30 degree weather, whereas it's actually 10 degrees celcius. If I turn off the car before it is warmed up, it will actually shake. I've been driving this car for 7 years so I know this is very wrong...
Please tell me this is a small inexpensive fix...!!
Thanks.
