Car runs roughly. Sounds like engine revving up when going slow or stopped. I've had some problems with it stalling out as well. This will be the third time in this summer that my car is in the shop. It's getting pretty spendy.

This car back fires, runs rough at a light, also at a light or stop the A/C blows barely. When the car gets up to speed it blows hard. The mechanic gave it a compression test which was good, it gets spark. The Mechanic 1st said the timing belt was put in wrong he put another one in and the car runs worse. Now he says it is an electrical problem...
