Sometimes i will be driving down the road, and let off the pedal for a bit. Then, the gas pedal is being pushed back in and the car is accelerating and i am not doing it, its doing it by itself! If this is normal then i am the king of spain. Have any of you heard of this on the 3rd Gen F Body Camaros? Its a 1991 Camaro 3.1 V6.

Re: Is there a Ghost driving my Camaro?
Sounds like your cruise is engaged and is trying to maintain speed. I bet when you touch the brake pedal it releases the gas pedal.
I would also bet that the wires for the cruise control switches in the control stalk are cracked/broken and that they are shorting to each other, commanding the cruise to set. The cracked/broken wires in the control stalk is a very common problem with GM vehicles with that type control stalk. I figured out a way to repair the wires in those control stalks, and have fixed a number of them over the years.Now Playing: \'99 Pewter Firebird, stock, bone stock, and nothing but stock, so help me God!<br />Comming attractions: K&N Filter, Lid Mod, Intake Bellows Smooth Pipe Mod.<br />I dream about: Forced Induction (TC or SC) or NOX (or both!)Comment

Re: Is there a Ghost driving my Camaro?
No, this is pushing the pedal in itself. And I figured it out, it was the cruise control. I have had the camaro for 4 years, and the cruise has never worked. But recently I had a guy doing a tune up, and I bet he reconnected the loose wire for the cruise.Originally posted by homedog119
Cruise control is pretty sweet!
Now for the real test......racing someone and only using the cruise control to accelerate. I bet i can find a ricer around here somewhere........

Re: Is there a Ghost driving my Camaro?
I know on my parent's 3.4 Impala, if you cancel cruise, then press the resume button. the car accelerates on it's own... kind of scary?Comment
