the push button is just an open close switch, and should have nothing to do with it. i took the car out yesterday and it started chugging like it was gonna die out again, so i just got pissed and took her to the higher RPM’s. punching the gas, keeping her in a lower gear, and it seemed to work whatever it was out of the system. untill i got to the store.
when i came out to start it again, same thing as before, had to drive it for 15 minutes with the key held in the “start” position. not easy with a manual tranny. after a while i started letting go of the key while i was driving, and it took a few times of it dying before it seemed to stay running. it’s wierd.
and it’s kinda starting to piss me off. why will it only do this once it’s getting warmed up? cold, it runs fine. warm, well, it dies.WTF?
