Ok heres the deal. When i swapped my brake pads when i was in minnesota i think i fucked up a little, my car hasnt been the same since. Ive never had a car with ABS before so i think i messed with the adjustment and tightend it too much. first off i remember when i finished the job i pulled out of my driveway and started to accelerate to hear a loud scraping and very little power, the car was moving but when i let off the gas the car slowed down very fast. so i pulled back into the driveway and loosened the bolts i thought were the problem, still the problem exists that when i am at a stoplight i can let totally off the brake pedal and the car will not move, (remember im still an automatic at the moment) usually if you let off the brake the car will roll foreward. so im thinking that the brakes are still set too tight, and i think this may be causing my car to get horrible gas milage due to the added stress on the motor. Is there any way to adjust the ABS brakes so that they are to spec?
