You wont believe this or if you can please help.

I was driving back from the coast last week and had my aircon on. I was travelling down a motor way at about 110km and began to deaccelerate by taking my foot of the accelerator, as I took my foot off the car just started to launch with the revs going all the way to the red line. I put the brake on and eventually it went back to normal after a few seconds.

Next

On Sat night I was dropping off a friend, I came to a complete stop still in gear (air con wasn't on) then it happened again, it accelerated to red line, by it's self. I put my foot under the accelerator to make sure it wasn't stuck (it wasn't), it kept on reving high and blowing the valve, it was funny in a freaky way. It happened several times after that.

I drove it yesterday, checked the cable ect all seems ok. I have dropped it at a mechanic to take a look at.

Phewww.

Anyway solved my fuel problem, changed O2 sensor, drove it on a highway, drove like it was a camry and got a good return of 12lt per 100km. Done!

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
