Description of the problem | I was traveling through a busy intersection, as i mashed the gas pedal nothing happened. My car went "limp" as if it had cut off but it was still on. I coasted to the side of the road, just barely avoiding being struck by speeding traffic. I cut my car off and waited 5 minutes then restarted it. I was able drive it a short distance to a mechanic where it again "went limp". After my car was examined, the mechanic determined the problem was the throttle body had malfunctioned. |
