Accelerator pedal problems...
In the first 20 mins (approx) of driving the car accelerates fine (i.e. depress pedal at any degree and car will accelerate according, and at the force that you would expect)
But then the accelerator starts acting strange - depress it first quarter and car increases speed as expected. But push pedal any further and instead of increasing speed, car looses revs, splutters, slows, and will not speed up!
But release pedal slightly, back to the first quarter, and acceleration comes back, but only gives you the power that is expected from first quarter of pedal - so I can't get up hills or go quicker than 2000rpm in any gear.
What is going on??
But if I pull up turn engine off, and then back on then car goes fine again - but only for a short period (5-10mins) and damn problem comes back again!
Any ideas to the source of the problem?
