| Description of the problem | Was driving about 35 miles and hour when i turned and went up a slight incline... Engine sputtered a bit then i turned into parking lot, heard a loud noise like engine revving up and then it just died. Lost all control of vehicle and luckily coasted to a spot where no cars were. I let it sit for a moment, started back up and it was revving up again and rpm's were going up drastically. Tried to put in reverse and it would not go, shifted to park again and it revved back up. Turned off let sit again... Then started, was able to reverse but with loud noise and revving of rpm's. Drive a small amount and it died again and would not start back. Had pcm replaced about one year ago. Not sure of problem. Still waiting to get it towed. |
