Consumer Description

THIS HAPPENED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN SLOWING TO STOP FOR A LIGHT OR BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE WOULD REV AND FEEL LIKE IT WAS PUTTING OUT MORE POWER THAN IT SHOULD. IF I HAD BAD BRAKES, I WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE HIT SOMEONE. I WOULD EITHER SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK AND THE RPMS WOULD SHOOT UP TO 4. I HAD TO PUMP THE GAS A FEW TIMES TO GET IT TO RETURN TO NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY IDLE SPEED MOTOR THAT WAS STICKING AND CAUSING THE THROTTLE TO BE STUCK WIDE OPEN. *TR
