Hi!

I'm just a new member here and I'm new to cars in general.

I have this problem where I start my car from cold start and then it would
appear to idle just fine, but when I tap the gas pedal once.. it either stalls
out or struggles near the bottom of the RPM.

Also when I turn my A/c on at cold start, It does the same thing like how I tapped the gas(stalls or just hangs on).

Same thing for when I start rolling from first gear or reverse and try to move, I would have to try to keep the RPM up so it would not die out..(balancing the clutch pedal).

Edit: And pretty much when I use much power on the car like turning the steering wheel for the power steering to work.. the idle dips. Also when pressing the brakes..

I was wondering if you guys know the cause.

BUMP, need some knowledge asap. lol

Compression, spark, or fuel.
Which of these is disappearing (or incorrect amount) when it acts up?

I haven't gotten it checked by the mechanic yet but it also smells like carbon inside and outside the cabin.. when it's running. Oh, and I've been losing a bit oil as well..

I've been researching and I think it might be a valve cover gasket, sparkplugs and wires might need replacing.

Hopefully this weekend I'll have it checked out. More responses would really help, so keep it coming. I'll chime in every now and then.

I dont know if this is linked to where my performance goes but this area seemed to be the most greasy area on the engine. Underneath the headers near the power steering area. IDK if its power steering or oil leak?
