My car has been idling fast. My foot can be on the brake all the way to the floor and the rpm's are at 2 and i'm going 15-20 miles per hour. Then yesterday I got onto the freeway and I brought the car to 60 mph and it stuck there. My rpm's were around 3 and I could not get the car to slow down. I hit the gas and reved it a few times and I felt a pop in the gas peddle and it released and began to slow down. Please any advice would be so helpful, I have a small child and this is our only mode of transportation. Thank you

Have the car scanned for codes let me know what codes u have so we have a starting point. There has to be a code if ur car is doing that. Most auto parts stores read codes for free like autozone. Let me know what u find.
