could it be a crack in the valve covering gasket?
 
and when i start it,when its cold,its bounces like i'm revin it but i'm not and the petal isnt stuck
 
i know my car has alot of problems as well.LOL
 
Ok, you said your valve cover gasket (could it be cracked)
Are you burning oil under the hood? Like you can smell it when your driving?

If you look around the seal of the valve cover and there is oil seeping out. The Gasket needs to be replaced.

If you take the Valve cover off and the gasket is fine (no tares)
Then use Blue RTV Silicone and apply it to the gasket on each side and Re-use it. If your not cheap, then just buy a new one. Still use the RTV though.
 
it has no smell,no oil is seeping through,could it be in the block or pistons,something like that
 
Ok, is there anytype of smoke comming fromy our exhaust. (Other than normal) ?

Im taking it, you think its burning oil because its low on oil all the time?
Fill it up, at week later its a quart low, type of thing?
 
i am having the same problem. I am blowing smoke only when i hit the gas and when it first starts up it gives a puff. i dont seem to have any leaks but i takes like 1 quart every two weeks i run mobil 1 and its not cheap to keep replacing.
 
no smoke shoots out,it shut always reads low until i put some in,but there r no leeks
