Might put you into a tree otherwise.This was 2 yrs ago in my old BA MKII I have a FG G6ET know. I did take it to 2 forum sponsors in Sydney and they couldn't fault it and I had it for another 12 months and never did it again... I know the new owner and its never done it to him either.... It was 2 days after putting it all back to stock after having it tunes with injectors, intercooler, cat etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSV-H8R Member 7 Member For: 11y 5m 6d Posted 30/10/13 09:41 AM Share Posted 30/10/13 09:41 AM hi,I had just experienced same problem.. mine was stalling a couple of times over past few weeks and after a throttle body clean it has seemed to have stopped that and now just coming up my street to home I backed of to slow down and it kept accelerating.. put clutch in and sitting about 2200 revs.. gave it a rev and still sat at 2200.. drove into yard and reved a couple of times and dropped down but when revving it would stay up around 2000-2200 for couple of seconds before dropping down.. turned off and back on and didn't do it again..maybe time for new tps???
