I've had vehicles that you needed to keep the RPMs up. Automatics. Shifting into neutral also generally did the trick, so presumably was a transmission issue that I had no interest in diagnosing and paying for. Maybe the torque converter, now that I think on it.

Exactly what I was getting at. Often paired wonderfly with loud-ass holes in the exhaust. These people think its a joy to encounter in the wild ... try driving it. Trust me, the driver wishes walking, bike-riding, bus-riding, car-pooling, whatever, were viable for their situation, almost certainly more than you do.
