I failed aircare. Went to regular mechanic I normally go to. They hooked car to computer and the EGR valve needed replacing. Replaced it, now the car has NO POWER. When you floor it, it CASUALLY picks up speed rather than ROCKETING forward while driving..

Is this NORMAL while the computer adjusts for the new EGR???

 

Did you hook the kick down cable back up?

 

They did the job..

UPDATE: Called mechanic and they said they disconnected the cruise control because on the road test, they found the car MYSTERIOUSLY REVVED all my itself and the brakes held the car from jetting forward.

They disconnected the cruise and it stopped.

HOWEVER, Cruise control WORKS..?? So I called them just now and they said then something ELSE was disonnected by mistake.

QUESTIONS:

1. WHAT would be near the cruise control plug that may cause this LOSS of power at WOT?

2. WHAT would they have disconnected instead of the cruise that would cause this?

3. What would be the cause of the mysterious REV?

 

What is that? How would I check myself? engine bay?

 

FIXED: Turns out the mechanic MEANT to unplug the Cruise-control cable but disconnected the Downshift cable as it's hanging there. ;-)

 

Same thing as the downshift cable.

 

What an ***, I hope he cut you a break.

 

All fixed.
