GOING FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING ON THE HIGH WAY THE CAR WILL THROW A ETC CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WONT MOVE OVER 3-4 MILES PER HOUR. THEN GOES INTO A VERY ROUGH IDLE, UNTIL ONE TURNS OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTS THEN DRIVES FINE FOR A FEW MINS THE GOES RIGHT BACK INTO THE ETC ENGINE FAIL MODE.... VERY DANGERS IF MERGING ONTO TRAFFIC. ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
