[DYNAMITE44]

my vehicle has just a touch over 22,000 miles on it. i was merging onto the beltway yesterday and i went to hit the gas, nothing happened. i looked at the gauges quickly to see if the car had turned off or something, but no, it was still at 3,000 RPMs. it was strange, the gauges stayed at 3,000 RPM no matter the throttle position, at least for a few seconds. i put on my flashers and drove it on the shoulder, then stopped. i turned it off, let it sit for a minute, then turned it on and drove away, with the check engine light on.

its really scary trying to merge onto a highway when you're only doing 45mph because your car quit, especially on a newish vehicle. i guess its time to have the dealer check it out.

anyone else have their car just die like that when trying to merge onto a highway? i almost got killed.
