My car does this once every few months randomly. My guess is that some non-critical sensor isn't being read. And it goes away on the next start.
So you mean like hi rev downshifting? Do I keep my foot on the gas or just shift to second and let go of the clutch
?

It really is. You can read up all you want about how to please a woman, you can look at all the diagrams in the world, but just like the clitoris, you won't know what the hell an apex is before you actually find it.
