A Thursday unlike other Thursdays
Feb. 24th, 2011 03:29 pmI was driving home for lunch when Kuro started acting up. At first I thought the floor mat was interfering with the gas pedal, because I was hitting the gas and not much was happening. So I shifted the mat, and it didn't help. Poor response to the pedal. Kuro would occasionally shudder and knock. If I took my foot off the gas, then pressed the pedal slowly, it helped. But it was still *slow way down* *shudder* *speed up finally* *WTF*??????
No dash lights came on until I backed into the driveway, at which point they *all* came on. It's possible that Kuro stalled at the moment I shut him off and removed the key, because the lights do come on in the case of a stall.
A little while later, I was able to drive him to the garage, although he did act up a little along the way. A friend is bringing me my laptop, so I can work tomorrow.
I hope it's a case of bad gas. This came on with NO warning. All was fine this morning. Nine years I've had this car, and this was the first real prolonged WTF incident.
