I was driving in D in a downhill(AC was on), switched to N and car started to accelerate itself till 2krpm and drop to 1krpm an so on, when car is stopped at red light in neutral revs stayed at 1krpm, in D stayed at 750rpm....if car is moving (5mph) in Neutral car accelerates itself and goes crazy. I didn't get any CEL or anything. If car is in D and suddenly i stop car looks to keep accelerated a while. Anyone has any idea about this? sounds to you like an IAC problem? TSS? Throttle Hang? I'll appreciate a lot any input Last edited by dgodard; 03/02/06 12:40 AM. 00 Mystique LS V6 ATX 57K miles K&N air filter TH Fix B&M 70268 Atx cooler

I have a 2.5L non svt v6 and I drilled mine 15/64. It worked great. Buy a few 1/2 copper pipe caps, and try a few sizes. You decide which is best for your car! They're less than 25 cents a piece. Good luck! For Sale - 96 Tour Sport 2.5L MTX with SVT Exhaust, pre 98 trunklid with newer Contour Sport spoiler instead of lip spoiler, newer Contour sport rims. Newer paint job.
