Once you start the car you have to manually throttle it to keep the idle until you put it in gear at which time you don't have to manually keep the idle. While running, the car doesn't stall but it will lose so much power that it is crawling. If you try to accelerate, even moderately quick it will die and once it starts to die it seems to go straight down hill. You can quickly pump the throttle and that doesn't help the speed but the turbo boost gauge and the rpm indicates the increase but the car performs worse. If you then place the car in nuetral and pump the gas to get it "normal" and put back in gear it helps but will re-occur quickly when trying to accelerate moderately.
