I just took my convertible out for a ride around my neighborhood while the temperature is decent.
The car started up as normal and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
After I had been driving the car for a good 15 minutes, it started to act up. The Anti-lock brakes light went on and off repeadily. Then, at the next stop sign, as I went to shift from 4th gear to neutral to go to first, the car started idling out of wack. The car goes from 1500rpm to 2500rpm in evenily spaced intervals. I didn't think too much of the erractic idling until I came to the next stop sign and did the same as I did at the last. When the car is in neutral, it idles like that. At that stop sign, I left it in neutral and opened the hood of the car. I looked at the throttle and the throttle isn't moving when it rev's. There is also a slight shreking sound coming from the bottom of the engine.
I got back in my car and started to head back home. It was then that I noticed the gas pedal has delay on it. If I hit the gas, it doesn't speed up for a second or so. But then it doesn't stop speeding up until I tap the brakes.
I have no idea what is wrong with the car but it would sure be nice to know what the problem is. I would imagine it would be a problem with the computer, but I really don't know. I have yet to see anything that seems related to what I'm seeing.
What happens when someone puts something in the gas?
