Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'm sorry your having problems with this vehicle so I'll try to help you with this issue.The website may prompt if you want a call, but that would be up to you. It sounds like it is a problem with the throttle control and or TPS sensor which should be checked first with a scan-tool to check for codes then procede from there.
