Sticky Situation

tigerfan2771 · November 16th, 2007, 11:47 PM

ok so i was leaving my house and decided to test my car against a range rover.now when i floored it the gas pedal seemed to stick and the brake wouldnt work. i had to throw the ebrake on and it seems that cruize control doesnt work anymore. can anyone tell me what has happened???? the car seems to be okay otherwise.

sounds like you got a whole lot of big problems there. i wouldnt frive it untill you know your pedal isnt gunna stick and your brakes work. your extremely luck you didnt hit something/someone.

but look on the bright side, the range rover was gunna win anyway

brake fluid?

AtlanticBlue99 · November 17th, 2007, 11:23 AM

maybe your throttle cable stuck b/c your cruise control cable (which is next to the throttle cable) broke, snapped, cracked, etc. my cruise control cable bent and got stuck once just like this. check the two cables and springs on the throttle body

Is this a drive by wire mustang or no?

tigerfan2771 · November 17th, 2007, 11:41 AM

ok well i was driving this morning and the cruise control seems to be working again but my car makes a bit of noise when my car slows down. does anyone know the reason for this? everything else seems fine. oh and i was smoking that range rover by the way!!!

Juggalo_X · November 17th, 2007, 11:42 AM

noise from where whats it sound like?? can u be a lil more descriptive?

tigerfan2771 · November 17th, 2007, 12:51 PM

sorry. sounds like its coming from the tranny around 30-40mph when the car slows. i had to throw the ebrake on so i dont know what couldve been messed up in the process. its not a whistling noise but like a low rumbling noise if that helps any.

Juggalo_X · November 17th, 2007, 12:54 PM

auto or manual? what gear are you in when this happens? is it on coast down or acceleration?

tigerfan2771 · November 17th, 2007, 01:15 PM

its an auto. i have some 4.10 gears in now and i think it was in third gear when it stuck and is making the noise when it is in second gear as it is slowing down. i dont know much about transmissions though.

Juggalo_X · November 17th, 2007, 01:19 PM

Check your fluid. 90% of tranny issues are from burnt or low tranny fluid.

Id say get a flush and fill. its not that much and it may give ur tranny a kick start

tigerfan2771 · November 17th, 2007, 03:07 PM

so do you think that pulling the ebrake couldve caused any serious damage?

no thats what its there for to stop the car.

tigerfan2771 · November 17th, 2007, 03:46 PM

ok well i also shifted it into reverse to try and slow it down. dumb idea but could that have messed up something? i have done it on accident before and nothing happened.

Yeah if you shifted into REVERSE at high speeds ....

I'm gonna say 90% you f***ed something up!

Hmm, broken tooth on a gear maybe....

Juggalo_X · November 17th, 2007, 03:57 PM

Im with ssstang you fucked your tranny. but i know that they have a safety thats not supposed to allow this. what were you thinking?? ebrak is for stopping revers is for going backwards.

tigerfan2771 · November 17th, 2007, 03:58 PM

well it wasnt at a real high speed and i have done it by accident at that speed before so i dont know.
