Description of the problem | The car was in the process of stopping for a red light, the tachometer showed and increase to about 2,000 rpm. I put the car into neutral and the engine throttled back to a normal 800 rpm. The rest of the short trip was uneventful. About an hour later on another short trip, i again came to a stop at a red light and the engine again revved up but this time to about 4,000 rpm, i could hardly stop the car with the brakes and again put it in neutral whereupon it again settled back to a normal 800 rpm. The rest of the short trip was uneventful. The second time my wife was in the car; she is afraid to drive it as she said if that happened to her she wouldn't know what to do. I will take it to my mechanic. |
