some weird stuff at low speeds
I have a 98 with auto trans.
I noticed two small things when I drive that I'm not sure is normal or a problem. When I am driving at very low speeds (such as pulling into the garage) I notice that when I go light on the gas I get some acceleration in the motor before the car responds (not much, just a little). Also if I'm on the street at say 15 mph and come off the gas the motor will drop right down to idle speed of about 500rpm. It's almost the same feeling as when you disengage the clutch on a manual trans. Under normal driving conditions the car responds perfect, it's only during periods of low or no accleration.
Now I did buy the car with some mods already made. I have a halltech Tric intake, a new TB, and a few other odds and ends.
does this sound normal for this car or do I need to see someone?
