Delusional Drive
My car is under the delusion that I'm driving ninety miles an hour down an icy road around a sharp curve. Spinning wildly out of control, my car cuts the power to the gas pedal. There is just one problem. All I really did was turn the key in the ignition.
As soon as the car comes alive, it starts hallucinating. The "slip" light goes on and the car becomes almost un-drivable. The car will accelerate, but only after a three or four second delay. What I need to do is floor the gas pedal several seconds before the car needs to go, but I lack that particular skill. People honk at me when the light turns green and I just sit there. Yes, I know the light is green. I'm just waiting for the power to kick in. *sigh*
This started two days after I got the oil changed in my car. Is it a coincidence? I never had this problem before. So, now my car has to go back to the dealer. I wonder what they will break next time.

I was once going down an icy road at 60 miles an hour toward a sharp curve with a stuck open throttle, but that's another story.
Seems like most of the repair problems these days are faulty sensors rather than a real mechanical/electric issue. It's real annoying (and usually pricy).
maybe the air cleaner..
Alan, that is a story you need to blog about. By the way, I've tried three times to leave a comment on your bear post and have been blocked each time.
Anon, the only air cleaner I use is an apple.
I just checked my blog settings, looks be OK.
