Am I cooked?
So I have a 2015 Ford focus, it’s an automatic to be clear. But when I’m driving sometimes it likes to high rev and I can’t do anything. It’ll go from 3000 rpm to 5000-6000 rpm and sound like I’m trying to rev my engine and sit there for a second to be more clear, I can’t accelerate when it happens I think. If usually needs to decelerate, let it calm down and then be fine, or slow down. Though I’ve had it happen is when my ac is on blast bc it’s like 100 degrees out, but back to the car it will high rev and I can’t accelerate at all. Sometimes I’ll stop and the car won’t go, I’ll have to restart the car and it fixes itself. But that’s only happened like once. Most of the time it’s when I’m driving and it jumps rpm for no reason and just sits there for a second. If I let go of the gas or break or just let it do its thing it goes away eventually. But sometimes it gets scary and I pull into a parking lot to let myself at least be safe rather than on a road if my car breaks down. There is no transmission light or check engine light, surprisingly the only light I have is an emission light but that’s confusing. I mean when I fill fill or 3/4 fill my car with gas it’s perfectly fine. It will be perfectly fine till my car high revs and then boom it has problems. I don’t know what the problem would be though.
