| Description of the problem | Stopped at a red light. Stepped on gas to move and the engine revved up and it just took off. Had to use both feet on brake pedal to stop the car. Going about 1 mph after the light turned green. The engine accelerated and wouldn't stop. Nearly hit the car in front of us. May be computer or throttle positioning sensor. And it happened again later. Same day. Going straight, up a hill about 2mph and once again the engine sped up and the car took off. It was very difficult to stop. |
