Car sluggish at first, then picks up ::::: added video
ok , my name is mike, i just bought a 1994 toyota corolla, and it has 217,234 miles, and when i punch it it doggs out , but if i throttle slow it will drive ok, but i will have to pas some one someday, and today i was working on the rear brakes, and its about 23 degrees, and i started it and the belt squeels and it is slugish right away.....gets better as it warms up, but never goes away,
i9 notice the aircleaner was clogged bad, so i got a new one, i also got new plugs but did not install yet, and oil and filter, did not install yet,,

i got this car for my wife,its all i could afford right now, i dont think its safe right now, and it did not do that when i test drove it, and the guy i got it from says it never did that for him......but i dont believe him........every one sells a car for a reason, and i was in a bind.......i cant afford any thing right now and i get payed every 2 weeks, and im still only got 1 car.....It sucks, this year hasa been bad for me.....sorry about bitching, i bought this car and i think something i miss and its not safe for my wife, unless i can figure this out.......
