Q: My drives really rough
Ok, so when I first got the car everything was smooth but a week later it started running ruff. Now when I put my foot on the gas the car don't really accelerate as fast as it used to. When the car switch gear at 20 mph it kind jerks back. And the engine makes this shaking noise when slows down the car when moving. I just feel like something is holding the car back because it stays in the same place when I accelerate, you hear the engine reving but the car stays kinda in the same place. It doesn't do this to me all the time but it's annoying that the engine doesn't run smooth anymore. Would you know the couse of this issue ?
