Car takes off up to 30 mph without touching accelerator. Needed smog test in March but have been waiting to fix this issue as it wont pass like this. At wits my end. Car runs like a champ 95 k on the clock. Family Owned since new. Meticulously maintianed. Already 4 grand deep into a 2k car.....too late to go back and scrap it now. Mechanic who did the work cant find problem is "taking a step back/break for a week to come back to job from new angle" .
Open to suggestions. Last issue to fix and then this 6 month headache will be over.
