When I start the car and let it idle for a couple of minutes the revs go up but just by one second.
Sometimes when the car is in first gear it gets weak for a couple of seconds too, like misfiring or something if I rev it it goes to normality, that happened only once in the last month and a half.
I have one of those OBD readers connected to my phone and the throttle never goes more than 70% even with the pedal to the metal.

I'm thinking I'm needed in Costa Rica. And they have jaguars (not the cars), and snakes, and jungles and two different oceans.
