QuestionWhen I start from a dead stop it's very slow and sluggish until it gets moving then it's very responsive. starting from a dead stop it have to press the pedal down to the floor and it feels like the turbo is what moves the car. the who car. Where can I look to solve this problem?
The car is an auto.
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
