| Description of the problem | Car will suddenly go limp. With no warning or anything the car is still running but there is no throttle or throttle pedal response. You can floor the gas pedal and nothing happens. It has happens while driving down a road and all you can do is hope that you can get to the side of the road. I was driving down a country road when this last happened. I came to a turn where you either have to stop or merge to the right onto another road. As i went to accererate there was no response from the car. I looked down and the check engine light is on as well as the cruise control light is now flashing. I tried turning the car off and back on several times. I finally shut the car off for 3-5 minutes before the throttle would respond. If this happened on the a busy freeway with heavy traffic, it could be very dangerous!! |
