Description of the problem	Car has been very slow to reduce rpms when shifting gears or when stopped (and in neutral) for the past few weeks. Today, when pulling into a starbucks, the car surged forward. Luckily i have a stick shift and just pushed the clutch in. After surging, the check engine light came on. Using a diagnostic tool, i found that the car is throwing error code p2138. This indicates that the accelerator pedal position (app) sensor is either bad or has a poor connection. The detail on the error stats "the ecm has detected that the app sensor 1 and app sensor 2 disagree more than 4. 5% for less than 1 second." essentially, one or both throttle-by-wire circuits isn't functioning properly. I went online and found that this is an all too common problem and some folks have found that their cars are surging forward, threatening safety.
