    ok, two days my problem started,my car was perfectly fine up until i was going out of town then all the sudden it started raining hard thereafter i got to a red light ,soon the light turned green i stepped on it but it wouldnt go, the whole car would start rattling an quit accelerating , then all the sudden the car accelerates itself back to normal,so i pulled over popped the hood and noticed there was water on the tray of my volant,so i touched the bottom of the filters and they were wet..anyways, now everytime i turn off the car then turn it back on it does it again..u guys think by anychance itll go back to normal??,..ses light turns on then hours later it turns off by itslef ..but problem stills continue....HELP!!

    I think you need to take it in to a shop that can run a diagnostics to see what the code is and let you know what it is and how to go about getting it fixed. and I dont think you should drive it like that

    sounds like that gas station is scamming people out of some $$...

    sounds like it could be a water problem.... try holding the pedal to the floor, and then hitting the starter for a bit, the car wont start, but it will let the valves open and close to relieve the cylinders of any excess fluids. let us know what you find
