3.0 12V accelerates itself
Posted: Tue Oct 29, 2024 9:48 am
Hello everyone, Once again I have a little something that needs to be fixed in 3.0 The engine accelerates by itself... it's been doing this for a long time now, but only now and then, I could live with that, but now it does it every few minutes... Yesterday evening I'm standing at the checkout at the gas station, the engine is still running outside, suddenly you can hear the car pushing the gas on its own... around 2000 revolutions and back into idle, and that several times... at about 15 second intervals, but not exactly regularly but as suits the engine, i.e. sometimes after 15 seconds, sometimes after 10... The absolutely annoying thing is that the same thing happens while driving... when driving over almost 2000 revolutions, you don't notice anything because the speed is higher than what the engine is trying to do on its own... but if you let it roll e.g. Approaching a traffic light and getting below 2000 rpm, the engine starts to jerk extremely, as if you were playing with the accelerator pedal jerkily... so really extremely jerky... I hope I explained the whole thing somewhat understandably. I hope someone can give me a tip on what to do... there can't be many components that need to be checked... in my opinion, only the idle cigar or the throttle valve pot can be used to clean the car by itself to give more speed? Kind regards, Mathieu
