PREVIOUSLY REPORTED ENGINE SURGES / ERRATIC IDLE AT 177800 MILES, AND THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AT 177900 MILES. AT 178345 THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE WAS CLEANED AS A PRECAUTION, DUE TO THE PREVIOUS SYMPTOMS. AT 178377 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I FOUND THE THROTTLE STUCK IN THE FULL OPEN POSITION. AFTER SAFELY STOPPING THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO MANUALLY RETURN THE THROTTLE TO THE NORMAL POSITION. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE I BEGAN EXPERIENCING ERRATIC IDLING 3000 TO 4000 RPM. ONCE PARKED AT 178382 THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE WAS RECHECKED, AND ENGINE IDLE RPM RETURNED TO NORMAL. I CHECKED THE OBDII AND FOUND NO PREVIOUS OR PENDING CODES. I WILL REPLACE THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE.

Engine

WHILE BRAKING THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE PICKING UP SPEED. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH THE ENGINE SURGED PAST 2000 RPM. WHILE DRIVING ON A DOWNGRADE THE VEHICLE WAS PICKING UP SPEED, AND I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH AND THE ENGINE RPM WENT 2000 RPM FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. FROM MY EXPERIENCES WITH OTHER VEHICLES I THOUGHT: MAYBE THE DRIVER'S MAT SHIFTED, OR SOME OTHER OBJECT MAY HAVE FALLEN AND WAS INTERFERING WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I FELT AROUND THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT, BUT FOUND NO FOREIGN OBJECTS. I USED THE TIP OF MY FOOT TO MAKE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS UP ALL THE WAY, AND THEN ENGINE RPM APPEARED TO GO TO NORMAL. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I TAPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL A FEW TIMES TO RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINE WENT TO 2000 RPM FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS, AND CAME BACK DOWN. I CHECKED FOR ANY CODES USING AN OBD II SCANNER, HOWEVER NONE WERE FOUND.

I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED AT 177,800 MILES THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING ENGINE SURGES. WHILE DRIVING IF I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH ENGINE WOULD RISE TO 2000 RPMS. IF I PULLED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL UP WITH TIP OF MY FOOT, THE ENGINE RPMS WOULD RETURN NORMAL. AT 177, 900 MILES THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WAS CLEANED, AND I AM NO LONGER EXPERIENCING ENGINE SURGES.

I HAD THIS ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES. AND THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM SO THEY ONLY DELETE THE ERROR. THE FIRS ISSUE IS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG (AIRBAG LIGHT ERROR) THE ERROR SEEMS TO BE THE SENSOR INSIDE THE SEAT.. AND THE SECOND ERROR THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT SHOWING THE CORRECT SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER IS READING ABOUT 5 MILE OFF.
