I'm driving down the interstate in the middle lane and decide to pass a truck. I'm at about 70-75 and open the throttle. Everything's normal for about 5 seconds, when all of a sudden there is nothing...
No throttle response. It almost seemed like it was out of gear and hitting the rev limiter. The engine is still running, but I'm going nowhere fast. I put the car in neutral and get in the right lane (after letting the truck get past me, and just before I got ran through in the other lane) and coast off a very conveniently close off-ramp. By this time the car had died on it's own. I started it back up to get on a side street where I could safely pop the hood.
Checked all fluids, and all was as it should be. Checked plugs and wires, and they were fine. Started the car up and it was running like nothing happened. I decided to test it again from a stop, threw it in D, mashed the pedal, and the same thing happened. I was able to finish my journey on a less congested and safer route with no further incident. On the way home, however, it did it again.
Help!
