I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem.
I was driving yesterday and at the roundabout the car next to me was driving a little erratic, so to save myself from any damage/accident, I put my foot down to get ‘away’. As I put my foot down I lost power and the engine was revving but no acceleration. I pulled over to the side, turned the car off and started and the problem went away.
This is the second time that this has happened and on the previous occasion, I put my foot down rather harshly and the same thing happened. I turned off/on car and problem was resolved.
Should I be concerned?
Why or what is causing this problem? Is it the fact that I accelerated harshly? Should I stop doing this?
Any help and advice is welcomed.
