car died today =[
i have a 2000 GS300 and today i was driving my car and i wasnt accelerating or anything. just cruising at around 40 mph. then all of the sudden the rpm drops a lil bit from about 3000 rpm to 2000 rpm. so i gas a little more to see if it is ok and it went back up to the same rpm again. This happen about 4 times. Then when i tried to accelerate the last time the rpm dropped down to idle rpm and the check engine light and vsc lights turned on. I increased the gas more and the rpm stayed at around 1000 rpm the whole time. I was able to make it home since i was just a block away. i parked my car on the street and turned it off to check underneath the hood. nothing seemed wrong so i started my car to move it into the garage. when i went into reverse it hopped a bit. i was able to roll slowly into the garage. when i shifted back to park it sounded a bit weird. Has anyone one had a similar problem or have an idea wats wrong?
