When I start my car, after a few seconds it will make a repetitive chugging noise. If I put my foot on the gas the car will rev for a minute then drop down again and start to make that chugging noise again. When I come to stop in my car and I am in drive the chugging will start back up and my car will jolt like it is trying to lunge forward. If I put the car in neutral, it will cease to lunge, but it will still chug. Sometimes when the car is sitting at a red light for too long, when I start to move again the car will not accelerate as fast and will sputter as I accelerate, then leading to the car to stall out. Once the car has stalled, and i restart it the sputtering stops, but it still will chug when not in motion.
