Consumer Description

WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE SPEED INCREASED FROM IDLE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I SLAMMED MY FOOT DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR A FEW TIMES THINKING IT WAS LODGED. IT DEPRESSED AND RETURNED TO POSITION WITHOUT STICKING. AFTER APPROX. FIVE OR MORE SECONDS THE ENGINE SPEED RETURNED TO IDLE ON ITS OWN. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT. THE PROBLEM HASN'T OCCURRED SINCE - KNOCK ON WOOD. THE SPEED INCREASE WAS NOT MINOR AS ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING TURNING ON - THE ENGINE SPEED WAS SEVERAL THOUSAND RPM'S BUT DID NOT RED-LINE. *TR
