It took me more than 5 minutes just to restart the engine, but the rpm-excelerator issue persisted and therefore had to be towed. Back at the workshop, I was asked to change the "idle valve" and its adjoining rubber hose. Cost me a bomb!!!!Well, 2 hours later I was driving again, with newly changed parts. After travelling about 25 km the car started acting up in the same manner again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />  RPM increased to over 2k rpm on its own and dropped to zero when excelerator is pressed!!! Now I am pissed!!!!:banghead: I wonder if anybody out there would be able to tell me as to what could possibly be wrong with my car? Thanking you all in advance.Regards,Vanan</p></blockquote><p></p>
