My car is accelerating as I am driving. Rpms bounce as it dose this. Also while I am stopped the RPMs are staying at 1. When I put in reverse sounds like something is falling out of bottom of my car. I read on line about acceleration systems. Or O2 System of Air in take filter and gummed up gas lines
