    Exclamation Big Problem

    Alright i need help.. I have a weber on, i used to turn off my car and it would sputter like for a few seconds. so i let it go. But now i turn it on yet it doesn't maintain idle. I can drive it yet i have to be pressin the gas all the time or it would turn off. Also the weber sounds kind of like its choking or something. I don't know what it could be. Please help I start school next week and I need my car.

    your not supposed to turn the car off until the RPMS are at idle lol.. thats called desieling(SP?) your dumping raw gas into the engine with no sparky sparky... the fuel is combusting partially because the CC is still hot and the heat of compression explode's it as well

    if you turn off your car and it still running, your valves have some major carbon build up. when the car is running, the carbon gets hot, and when you turn off the car hot carbon acts as spark plug and ignites the fuel. it can do that for a long time.
    you may want to get some kind carbon cleaner additive and run that. don't be cheap.
    i found out that the more expensive they are the better they will clean.
