Description of the problem | With no warning, i was unable to accelerate. Car went into limp mode. I was able to pull over safely. I am thankful i wasn't traveling at a higher rate of speed or traveling on the freeway; this would have been incredibly dangerous. Diagnostic lights on dash indicated something with throttle. Was able to get car home - very difficult. Had to have it towed. Very expensive car repair, 208. 00 part (throttle body) and 190. 00 labor. |
