Sold me Rav4 because of certain future plans, now I am wondering what to do? Should I rent a car for a few days or buy a small cheap (reliable) run about that I can sell quickly. Not for daily driving but to go about the weekend shift and probably one or two trips. Heart says rent, but its going to be quite expensive.· 16 replies

Question
gayanW
Hello everybody.
i'm driving a kia Rio 2001. I've experienced a rather unusual mechanical problem. i'm just a average vehicle user with limited technical knowledge. perhaps the experts here would be able to help me out with this.
OK this is what happens. all of a sudden i find it difficult to accelerate. i need to push the gas pedal really hard to get the RPM up. This happens only when vehicle is run for sometime, probably after 15-20 Kms. When the vehicle slows down due to traffic, it's hard to pickup the back again cos RPM goes down a bit and then accelerates. it's like the engine is slow to recognize the acceleration through the gas pedal. ( Idle RPM slows down, and engine may even stop in a worse cases). This improves when the car is stopped for a while. and again appears when driven for a long distance ( most of the time). Plus from time to time i get Check Engine indication but this issuue may not happen every-time the check engine comes up. so it's kind of a dilemma. ( i tried to do a scan on check engine, but couldn't detect anything)
Greatly appreciate your contribution to understand this problem.
Thanks!
