  • My car seems to try to drive itself?

    Well everyonce in a while like once a week, ill be driving along going about 30-40mph, my foot will not be on the gas (or it occurs just after my foots was off the gas sometimes) and all of the suddend the rpms go to about 2500 and the car speeds up a little it doesnt stop still I hit the brake or the gas. Is somethign wrong with my car? does it need a tune up? I have a 1995 3.4 Camaro, the only real mod i have is the K&N. Please give me any ideas on what you think this problem could be.

    Thats pretty odd... The first thing that comes to my mind is that your throttle is sticking. i dont know much about the 3.4s throttle, ( hell, I drive a 99 that is "drive-by-wire" ) but that seems to be the first thing I think of. Anyone else?

            I would check your crusie control connections plus vacuum pressure/leaks, also your throttle body and some other things that I can't think of at the moment, I'm to exhausted to think straight. I'll let you know later.
