Today while running errands (aka starting to do Christmas shopping) I
experienced a strange problem with my car. It would start ok, but when I
tried to start moving, the throttle didn't do anything. After a little while
and flooring the throttle it worked and continued to operate normally while I
drove. This happened twice on warm starts car just after
getting gas. Any ideas or places to start looking? I haven't done anything to
the fuel system since getting the car in July (no problems) and don'tknow
what if anything has been replaced before that.
Thanks

Luke, check the engine compartment for loose wires, often the wires to the
lower water temp sensor on the water outlet flange on the head will become
loose. Also check to hear is your fuel pump is running during the hard
starts, sometimes the fuel pump relay will get hot and stop working...just
some ideas.
