my 2000 malibu is making a vroom vroom noise when started and it bounces the car a little sending the rpms to the 3000 ( 3) mark. We had the gas filter and stuff cleaned out and it still makes the noise and movement. Makes it hard to back out. Uses a lot of gas in one day. Half a tank and have to fillup again. Any help?
uh oh

Sounds like your fuel pressure regulator is bad....When it starts to
leak it will dmp too much gas and give you a speratic idle like you
state..

Also check that al the vacuum hoses are OK and there not any that are
loose or have holes in them.
