Second, I avoid automatics because manual are more fun to drive, but that is a personal choice. But the manual also lacks the electronic interface with the engine, which can be the cause of problems. You also tend to use you brakes more with an automatic than a manual. You end up replacing your brakes more often, but you don't have a clutch to worry about. > > > First, when I start my engine sometimes it will sputter under 1000 rpm > and then compensate itself by raising the rpm.

There is a rumor that you can warp rotor quickly by over tightening the lug nuts/bolts. This could be one explanation. Another reason might be if you live in the mountains and have to ride your brakes alot. > > > Thirdly, After having my A/C run on LO for about 3 hours straight on a > long trip, the passenger foot well became soaked.

The condensation pan and/or drain hose are clogged or cracked. The condensation is leaking out into the passenger compartment instead of draining under the car as designed. > > > Thanks for any responses, > > Chris
