Rookie
So that is why every time I replace or disconnect my battery my car will hardly stay running. I have to feather the gas to keep it running. But after a day or two it smooths out and runs fine again. Technology is flipin great! Use to just be a timing chain. Now its the timing brain for the timing chain.
