yes pizzaguy, seems like while slowly releasing the clutch i need to press the accelerator up to 3000 RPM's to add more throttle, or else the car will start to stall.

i did a replacement of the MAF sensor yesterday, since i had the code showing up, now i have no engine light showing at all.

i can get the car rolling on 2nd gear from a complete stop much easier than 1rst gear, by not even reaching 3000 RPM's.
