once was a fluke, twice, that's a concern.
I was simply driving and noticed my rpm started to go up.
my foot was off the gas and stepped on brake. engine kept redlining, wanting to go.
I pulled back on the gas pedal with my foot but it wasnt caught on anything (like on the carpet or something). I shifted it to N, then simply shut down the engine. I started the car up and still redlined. I stepped on the gas, hoping whatever it's caught in get release. luckily that did it. it got released. I checked and double checked. there's nothing that would keep the pedal being pushed in. I decided that it was a fluke.
few months went by, it happened again. this time I just pulled over to the side, shifted to N, stepped on the gas, problem solved.
It's been few months and seems alright.
anyone had this problem?
at least I know what to do if it happens. but this cant be good for the engine.
do you think I should get this looked at?
