What owners wrote

When the engine is cold. I start the car and it struggles to turn on after a couple of second it idles normally. I think it's a feul dilivery problem but I'm not a mechanic. I've taken the car to service and the problem persist.

April 2003

Etm issue car stopped accelerating ended up having to pull off the road. Etm may act normal or go into limp home mode at any moment sometimes you can drive all day n problems other days you can't go anywhere. When affected rpms will not exceed 2500 and top speed seems to be about 20 MPH.
