| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At times, my engine revs very high. i can actually continue to accelerate without depressing the gas pedal. when coming to a stop, the engine will rev up to nearly 4000 rpm with the clutch pedal pressed, and my other foot braking. once i stop the car, the rpms then decrease but still stay on the high side (1500 rpms). also, when going throughout the shift sequence (1st to 2nd to 3rd etc... each time i press the clutch, the rpms shoot up). i am an engineer, business owner, and somewhat intelligent man. there are no obstructions to the accelerator cable that i can see, and no, my foot is not on the gas pedal. this is a real problem. it makes driving... interesting to say the least, and in the hands of someone less capable, this would cause a severe risk.*ak |
