I don't know if this will help, but here goes. My 850 idles fine, but as soon as I throw it into gear it barely runs. Like, it'll lurch and then when it gets going a little the gas will kick in, but only temporarily. The thing will start only sometimes and last night I drove across town, let it sit for an hour, and drove back. The problem wasn't as bad as it is now. Today it wouldn't start. I read earlier about clamping the IAC valve, so I did, and miraculously it worked. I had to loosen the clamp to give the motor a little air, and then I tried driving with it on half way. After experiencing this problem in its utmost severity, I took the clamp off all the way and there weren't any driving changes. So I turned around to go home and just before I got there, the car died. It started right up again and I parked it. I don't know what to do. And does anyone know where to get minilift ramps for cheap?
