Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A SOUND SIMILAR TO THE CAR'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THAT I HAD NO ACCELERATION AS I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL. I STOPPED AT A SAFE LOCATION AND SAT WITH THE CAR IDLING FOR ABOUT A MINUTE. DURING THIS TIME I NOTICED THE RPMS HUNTING AT IDLE SPEED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE TURNED OVER A FEW MORE TIMES THAN USUAL BEFORE IT FINALLY CAUGHT. AFTER THAT, I HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS FOR THE TWO MORE HOURS I DROVE IT. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY GIVING EITHER A FALSE SIGNAL OR TEMPORARILY LOSING SIGNAL. *TR
