    HELP! Something is wrong with my car, idle problem...

    I was driving and I shifted into third, I pressed the gas pedal and nothing happened... then it KICKED it super hard. I thought I was tripping out, drove down the road and pulled over. Put some oil in the car because the oil light was on, let it cool down and drove it around the block. Wasn't too bad, then I got to a stop light. Went in first and started to go, when I hit about 2k RPMS the car just went to idle and the gas pedal was pointless... wouldn't even work at all, then it KICKED in super hard again. I pulled over, had a tow truck take it back to my house because it kept getting worse and worse.

    I let it sit for 4-5 hours, came back and started it up. This is what it sounded like, yes I know my check and brake line lights are on. Oh yeah, and when the car would almost stall when I hit 2k RPMS, my red check engine light came on. Not sure if that means much...



    I would rev it, then at 2k it would die down while I still held the pedal down.

              stomp test?

              sounds like what my iX was doing when I had an intake boot with a gargantuan hole in it.

                I'll have to take it in, but I just wanted to see what forum people thought. Thanks for responding though.
