Consumer Description

MY IDLE SPEED CONTROL VALVE I WAS TOLD WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE RPM'S WOULD SHOOT UP WHENEVER I WOULD HAVE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. HOWEVER THIS POSED AS A HIGH DANGER RISK BECAUSE IT WOULD JERK FORWARD BECAUSE OF THE CAR IDLING AND SUCH A HIGH POINT. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AND IS SEEMING TO BE HURTING THE ENGINE. HOWEVER THE DANGER OF KEEPING MY CAR LIKE THIS IS WHY I AM WRITING. I THINK THIS POSED AS A DRIVING RISK B/C OF HOW UNSAFE IT MADE THE CAR AFTER THIS STARTED TO ACT UP. *JB
