Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70 MPH THE RPM DROPPED TO APPROX. 900RPM. PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. A INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON IT IS THE SHAPE OF A WRENCH. I HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. AFTER I PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED ABOUT 30 SECONDS THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I WENT BACK ONTO THE ROAD AND DROVE APPROX. 12 MILES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I REPEATED WHAT I HAD DONE EARLIER AND THE VEHICLE WAS OK AGAIN. I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD AND I MADE IT AROUND 8 MILES AND I HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE, AGAIN I REPEATED THE SHUT OFF THE ENGINE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT AGAIN STARTED AND RAN OK. THEN I MADE IT HOME! *TR
