stalling out my 1984 buick skylark
 

hi,

I have a 1984 buick skylark, 4WD, engine Type X, no mods to the car.....

This morning, I was hastily stalled the sh!t out of my car, [mind its NOT fuel-injected], because i was rushing to go to school. [usually, it needs about 5 mins to warm up fully, when i can tell that the car isn't shaking at all.] Well, after probably a min or 2, I backed out of the driveway. Then, I stalled out, in the street. Panicing, I tried to restart it and gassed probably too much [for about 15 secs, tops]. [did this twice, from what I recall] Finally, it started and I went on my way to school [about 4-5 miles away from me, a mix of freeway and city driving]

When I left school, I had no problems starting it all. However, I noticed on the way home; my car was coasting more quickly than it was previously was. After I make a complete stop @ a stop sign and let go of the brake, my car was accelerating faster than it had before [at the same stop sign that I stop at EVERY DAY].

Right now, I'm pretty scared, I'm thinking I screwed up my transmission, my starter, Whatever else.

I'll post more details if necessary.

Thanks very much,

When the car is in park give the gas pedal a quick shot with your foot, my van had a problem like that the old cable for the throttle was sticking if yours is sticking get a new one now before it gets stuck wide open, that happened to me 2 times in one day...Had to put the van in Nutural and shut it off, pull the dog house off and us my hand to unstick the cable.
