| Description of the problem | While coming to a stop at a traffic light, the check engine light came on along with a flashing cruise control light. When i started up there was no response from the gas pedal. My car started to roll and got up to 10 mph ( the speed limit was 45 mph). The rpm gauge stayed at 2000 rpms. I pulled on to a side street with my flashers on and parked. I turned off the engine and started it. Still no response from the gas pedal. I turned the car off a second time. This time the engine didn't start. I tried again and it take a long time (10 seconds) but it finally started. Now the gas pedal responded. I drive my car home without incident but the check engine light stayed on and the cruise still flashed. I went to auto zone where they said the code was p2138. Thank goodness the traffic was light when this happened and i was able to find a side street. Updated 12/21/15 *js |
