So i only had the vehicle literally a week also after I turn the engine off for like 5 mins and try starting it again sounds like it’s missing for like a minute then clears up. I drove it yesterday down the street it also starting running hot on me can anyone help me diagnose this please and thanks.
Is there a check engine light? A bad ect sensor will cause hard starts. Is the car tuned? Has it always ran like this??
