How is this one to shock ya socks!!!

This morning I am in the shower and I hear this car start and then begin to rev to max...

I think what is this idiot doing with his car... it sounded like the engine was going to blow... then it stops... and then starts again...

I hear this for a couple of minutes then stick my head out of the shower to realise the engine I was listening to was a holden commodore...

I then jump out of the shower and race out for a look to see what is going on...

I get to the door and I see the street covered in smoke...

When I get outside where my wife is standing I see this blue VZ commodore reving its guts out and realise it is my car and I watch as it revs up and then stops then starts again and revs a while at max and stops... lots and lots of smoke...

First thing I think is someone is in my car so I hit the lock button and race to the car to catch the person... I get to the car as it stops reving and guess what I see ??

NO ONE!!!

The car was starting and reving itself to max then dying down all by itself... this car had a mind of its own!!!!!!


I contacted holden and they told me this was impossible.... I then towed the car to a service dealer and argued with holden for a while then a service mechanic came back saying there were strange error codes on the computer relating to the ignition and throttle system......

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holden are getting an engineer to look at the car now... beyond a mechanics ability now Im told.... damn...


I have the 'Christine' cars brother .... Commodore!!!!

I think your car is haunted!!:eek:
It could be a ghost having fun. You never know!
OR maybe your car isn't getting enough fun with you, so it decided "Why not, I don't need a driver I can do it myself".
Just joking, but seriously consider my comments. Weird sh!t happens everyday.

Happens once to my VS. Got home from work parked my car on the driveway as usual and turned her (Engine) off. About 10-15 mins later decided to pay some bills so went back to the car. The engine is still on!! the car is locked there are no signs of tampering but it could be my dad but he was watching telly!!
This happened about a year ago, but ever since it never happened, still got me puzzled.

This sunday, drive to church and have the morning service. Meet the pastor and ask for him to come out and pray over your car. I'm not joking.

but if your don't beleive in religion, it wont change anything (but waste your time)

VZs have electronic throttle, so its just something to do with the computer playing up. Guess you should stop looking at car porn, cause you got a virus!
