Description of the problem | I was driving and coming to a complete stop, when the car began to accelerate itself. I brake, that didn't help much. It stopped the car, but did not stop the engine from abnormally revving itself up. I pushed the gas and it was okay, but still at a higher rpm than normal. Again, 5 mins later, while sitting in traffic it revved up again. It was at about 2500 rpm, coming from a dead stop. I freaked out and tried to put the car in park thinking that would help. When i put it in park, it revved itself to about 4000rpm. I turned it off. I turned it back on a short while later and drove to a parking lot and kept it parked. |
