I was accelerating when it happened, suddenly no gas pedal response and the car started lunging. I came home with it lunging, fortunately not far to go and half of it was downhill so I did a lot of it in neutral.
It sits there just revving up and down, with the engine is rocking back and forth.
Absolutely no throttle response at all, I have to look for a failed vacuum line maybe, sensors ????
The question is why suddenly like that? BAS/ESP light and ABS lights came on at once as did the engine light and they all went out after disconnecting the battery and a throttle reset.
It is a good job I was close to home, so I have that to be thankful for, a mile or so more and it would have came home on a truck.
My Innova said No Faults, so now I try my Multi-Gage and my BlueDriver on my iPad. I have another one but I cannot find the dongle.
