I have the vehicle scheduled to go into the shop again on monday.”

While driving you either feel a constant pull then its almost like it releases and then it speeds up. Then I have a hard time slowing it down. When the car broke down the temp gauge dropped all the way down, AC stopped working and when I pulled over and stopped the car it would start again. After 30 min it started but immediately rev up in rpms to max and wouldn't stop till I turned the vehicle off. …”
