Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND THE THROTTLE WENT OUT. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 40 AND WAS VERY SLOW TO GET TO THAT SPEED. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING AT A HIGHER RPM THAN NORMAL AT STOP LIGHTS. WHEN DRIVING UP HILL THE SPEED WAS ABOUT 20 MPH AND THERE WAS NO THROTTLE TO INCREASE THE SPEED AT ALL. THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE I MADE IT HOME AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO GET THE CODES PULLED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AND IT RAN LIKE NORMAL. WE COULD NOT GET THE CODES PULLED. *TR
