| Description of the problem | i was driving down a local road at about 35 mph. All of a sudden, without warning, i could not get my gas pedal to do anything, like it was out of gear, and the engine seemed to be sputtering. I pulled off the road, shut the car off and after a few seconds, restarted the car, it restarted and drove fine. It did the same thing again the next day. It has happened a number of times since the first time... Happening about once per day. It seems to start up ok after i shut it down, but very unsafe to be driving down the road and then have no power and have to pull off. |
