| Description of the problem | While driving or accelerating from a stopped position the accelerator loses control. Check engine light comes on and i then have to coast to a safe place on the road. I turn off ignition, remove and replace gas cap, restart the xar. Had the check engine code checked as p2138. Trottle/pedal position sensor switch. So far i have been lucky and not been hit while this occurs. This has been happening for 2 weeks now. Going to repair shop to hope for repair. |
