Hi all, after drooling over them since I was old enough to drool. I finally purchased a 2000 mustang gt yesterday. I "thought" I was careful in selecting a nice stock manual car with 104k miles on it. This was my first manual transmission car so I went out today and have someone teach me to drive it. Well,getting back to the point. The cars engine seems to be randomly accelerating. The gas pedal is kinda loose so I think that might be it? It does not happen all the time but every once in a while it just takes off. Like try and imagine going out on the street for the first time learning to drive the manual and it just going nuts at random times. Kind off scary.also, the car has no power in 3rd or 5th gear but it seems to have plenty 1,2 and 4. Is this normal? Like, I can't even crawl up a hill in third that I could be in fourth. I know this is long but I really need some help. Thanks a bunch and nice to meet you all here at the forum.
