    My vs is being weird, here's the go I need a new gearbox but when the box starts flaring gears and and the just after it she starts misfiring and idling extremely low before it got down to 100rpm could basically count to 2 between each round, and when I accelerate nothing happens doesn't even rev just goes to cut out the only way the car will move is in drive and let it cruise at idle speed, and I just replaced the sensor that controls the idle. Any ideas? Need it fixed ASAP got tradeschool next week and that's in a different town :/

    As above, do a code check.
    If its breaking down under load it may be ignition related.

    I nearly had the same problem, i had a vacuum leak and my TPS was on its way out, i think u generally get stuck in a gear when it goes. I fixed my tps, but i still have that problem where the idle is over the place, i think its called 'hunting' and mines dur to a vacuum leak from the o-rings over the injectors, that part is cheap and easy
