    Car in the morning hesitates just pulling out of its parking space. Put the car in reverse and it won't move. Put it in drive and same issue. It seems as if it's trying to warm up maybe? When it does start moving, it runs at 5-10 mph at 3k rpms. I let it roll slowly and after a few minutes it starts to drive normal. Going uphill, i experience a similar issue where the car is running at very high rpms at low speeds.…
