Car surges when slowing down to a stop
Hey guys..
I've had this problem for a while, I'm braking and slowing down to a stop and the car suddenly surges forward a bit.
I'd like to think that its just the massive torque from the engine at idle reacting to the downshift, but its not consistent when it appears... so maybe its some sort of a sticky/blip in the throttle?
I tend to lightly brake, then the surge comes.. and I've found myself almost rear-ending the car in front of me a few times..... almost.
Any suggestions or experience?
