I put it back in gear to roll start it, and you could tell it didnt want to start but it did. When i hit the gas its fine but when i let it off while in gear it slows me down alot faster than normal. I got the car home then turned it off. Tryed to start it and all it did was pop a few times and thats it. it wont start? Could it be flooding itself? anyone got any ideas on what happened?
