I have a problem with my car.

1. When I start the engine it went off itself if I'm not pressing accelerator.

2. When I have to drive it than I have to move on a higher rev because when it on a normal rev it will went off itself.

3. When I drive it it drops power and start jackie life it short of petrol.
