The car has been sitting for a month and the battery died. Recharged and battery checks out fine. Before sitting ran good and in good tune. Now hard to start. Let it warm up to full temp in the driveway and then took on the road. Sputters but runs OK until over 35. Then bucks like a mule. Acts like trans is slipping, but I doubt that's it. All fluids OK.
Mechanic says if the battery goes dead on this one, the car has to be driven for some time over 35mph for it to detect and reset settings. I was going to do this but it was riding so rough I took it back to the driveway.
I plan to tow it to the dealer soon to check. Anyone have this happen before?
Thanks!!
Bob

Stopped by the Mitsubishi dealer and the service manager was not much help: "Bring it in...." Feller at the auto parts store said the way to reset most computer is to disconnect for "exactly 8 minutes" then reconnect. Will give this a try - can't hurt anything.
I'm wondering if anyone reads these newsgroups any more?
