Never had this issue before, scared the crap out of me. Just left home, less than 2 miles away, & car starts revving & accelerating on it's own - also very very difficult to brake. Turned back home, had to throw the car in park to keep from crashing through our fence. Once in park, car instantly revved to 3000-4000 rpm - immediately shut it off and then distinctly smelled burning. Any ideas? Talk about a wild ride - very psycho to be behind the wheel of a car that accelerates without me pushing the gas and doesn't want to stop despite my mashing the brakes! Thanks in advance for any ideas or cost projections. kingjim9 User Feb 29, 2008, 7:40 PM Post #2 of 3 (1220 views) Re: 2001 Chevy accelerating on it's own Sign In Check and make sure the accelerator cable's not sticking at all. autojoe User Mar 1, 2008, 7:35 AM Post #3 of 3 (1216 views) Re: 2001 Chevy accelerating on it's own Sign In seen happen before with a bad throttle position sensor.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
