    I have had a weird feeling about the car for the past 2 weeks . It now has 20500 miles .

    First the fan seem to start much more often than before . The oil and water temp are always ok but still the fan will start for no reason..
    Then i feel it lost some power/grunt.
    And finally, today i was driving in downtown , and when i was stopped at the lights , the engine would rev by itself to a little over 1100-1200 rpms..

    Its as if the car was feeling tired..

    I will go tomorrow AM to my dealer but wanted to have some opinions from you guys .

    Let the dealer check it and see if it is throwing some codes...

    any chance it's just the warmer weather? Were you running the a/c?

    I stopped by the dealer this morning and they said if there is no check engine light , they cant do anything.

    I was running A/C but the weather isnt that hot , i drove it all day today in bumper to bumper traffic on the highway and the fan didnt go on, not that it was needed but i thought it would go since it was starting for no reason ..weird.

    Another thing , the clutch . I have a feeling its almost done. Is it possible to need a new clutch at 20k on a daily driver ( ie : no track...) ? If im not cautious , the car will stall from neutral to 1st.
