Hi, I dont know whats wrong - it feels like a cruise control but when I hit the brakes it still is pushing to go forward but eventualy the revs drop.... wether I am traveling at 40, 60 or 100 klms/h it sticks & holds the speed most of the time hot or cold engine ??? - so if I am coming to a halt I have to put it in neutral to get it to remember that I am not accerating, then it seems to reset until I accelerate again?
Please HELP! 
Marty

Is it an auto? .. if so, sounds like your torque convertor could be locking up, and not letting go ..
reco box time . |

Yep - she's a 4spd auto - car only done 180 clicks, just shocked that this would suddenly happen

If you are actually using cruise control and this happens, your brake light circuit is probably out (globe or pedal switch).
It sounds like a stuck throttle linkage or cable to me. Check for kinks or damage to the cable and give the linkages at the throttle body a good squirt of WD40. Otherwise, this sounds dangerous. If you can't handle mechanical work, get it to a mechanic quickly! Mike

Sounds like it could be the idle speed controller gone wacky?
Its mounted on the intake at the throttle body.

Its it a Centre Point or Multipoint EFI system?
If its a Centre Point, they are renowned for killing the TPS and then doing what you are experiencing. New TPS is abot $120 and you could fit it yourself. My work mate has a loooong experience with TPS's on his CFI and this problem, to the point where I did a multipoint conversion for him. |
