Weird throttle response after idling under heavy heat
Hi guys,
As per title i have experienced a very weird behavior. I was idling and stayed for maybe 15-20 minutes under a heavy sun (I was sweating in the car with the air-con put to Max ...). Then when the time came to leave, when I pushed the accelerator the car wouldn't budge and you could feel the engine trying to go above but couldn't. Had to push my feet almost on the floor and switch to Sport mode to be able to have a close normal behavior. Though still had to push on the floor. I am suspecting the idling under heavy heat because my oil needle was at 120c Usually it just goes to just above 70c Then after driving for a while and the needle went down, the response looked better. And after parking the car in a mall, went for a stroll, picked up the car again and behaving normally. But i was so scared, like at traffic lights i wasn't able to budge the car with the foot on the accelerator already and pushed several time the warning lights button to notify drivers behind... Anyone has experienced this? |
