SINCE THE CAR HAD ABOUT 75,00MI EACH TIME SUMMER ARRIVES THE ENGINE WILL NOT PROPERLY IDLE. IF YOU PLACE THE TOE UNDER THE ACCELERATER PEDAL AND PULL UP, THE IDLE RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS AND ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT AND THE CAR IS DRIVEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS (UNDER 40MPH).
