so im at the stoplight and i start to go and then all of a sudden my RPM jumped to about 4 G. i was not punching it or anything since it was heavy traffic. it did like twice and then it is fine. what caused this?? i almost hit the person in front of me. any idea would be greatly appreciated!

sounds like something my car is doing. I think it's vaccuum related. I'm guessing you have an automatic? I have a 5 speed, but my situation is when I'm shifting; with the clutch in it seems like the throttle cable is sticking and my RPM's continue to climb. I figured out that the cable isn't the problem. I have a boost gauge which also indicates the problem. It only does it once in a while. Mostly when the engine is cold. I'm currently doing some more research on the subject, so I'll let you know what I find out.Nitrous is like a hot chick with an STD....you wanna hit it, but you\'re affraid of the consequences...<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=244935\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=244935</a>
