I have a 2000 Toyota Celica GTS automatic transmission with 140k miles on it and recently, I've been noticing some serious acceleration problems. After the car has been sitting for a while and I drive it, it doesn't go when I push down on the gas. I'll push down on it and after about 5 seconds, it will start to move and then when it does get moving, the rpm is unable to go past 5000 which makes the shifting very awkward, uneven, and not smooth. This happens during the first 5 minutes I drive it and then it drives normally like it should. It's starting to get very annoying though and I'm afraid something is going to break soon. I thought this problem would stem from the catalytic converter, but I took it to the shop and replaced it with a brand new magnaflow one and it is still having the same problem. The mechanic said it may be the gas to air ratio in the car and it is giving too much gas and not enough air. If this is the problem, please let me know what I need to do to fix it and if not, please tell me what you think the problem is. 10 points for best answer, Thanks.
