For some reason, my car moves in reverse quick when I release the clutch and give it no throttle when it has a cold engine, but bogs in reverse when it has a warm engine. What could be causing this, it never used to do this at all. Should I just do a major tune up or what?

You mean when the car is in neutral it moves backwards when you release the clutch?

 

No I mean when press the clutch shift to reverse and release the clutch. The car moves but it bogs, I have to give it some throttle to get it moving, unlike before where I didn't have to give it any throttle.

 

when the car is cold it will idle faster RPM.(like you were giving it gas)

when the car is warm it will idle at a lower RPM. (so you will have to give it some gas to get the RPMs up to release the clutch.

Does that make sense? I'm not sure if i'm following you.

 

I know exactly what you mean, but it never used to bog before when its engine was warm. Now it feels like its about to stall

 

yeah a tune up can't hurt. i always blip the gas when starting off in reverse.
