| Description of the problem | I was on my way to work and got on the freeway and as i accelerated to the flow of traffic, the car started splutting and i was in the middle lane with a truck close behind me and cars on each side. The speed started to decrease as i pushed on the gas petal with nothing happening. It was as though it ran out of gas and the console lights came on. I panic and tried to work my way to the side of the road. I was able to get over after the truck barely missed pitting me and coasted til the car slowed down and turned the car off and tried to start it again, it started because i knew that it wasn't out of gas, i had a full tank. There was no check engine light on at that time either. I preceded to get back on the freeway and got up to 50 mph and went to the nearest exit and my car repeated the same thing, this time with a jerking motion.. That when the check engine light came on. I moved the car to a safer area and called to get it towed. It was place on the a machine that read p2111 and p2112. The auto shop informed me that it was the throttle body. |
