I drove from Lowell to Wareham - 495 S all the way, about 2 hrs. After about an hour the engine started to whine. I thought it was because I was running the AC, so I turned it off - no change to the whine sound. I pulled off the exit for Wareham and stopped at a light. When the light turned green, I stepped on the gas and nothing happened - nothing at all! The engine didn't rev, it wasn't stalled, nothing. The people behind me were honking and there was nothing I could do. It eventually, very slowly, started to move forward and then slowly picked up speed. It happened again at the next light. I finally made it to my destination and didn't start the car until the next day. I took it to a local garage where they VERY kindly plugged it in (for free) and gave me the code: P0725 Engine Speed Signal. On July 3 I drove from Wareham to Portland, ME and only noticed a lack of acceleration during that trip and since.
Vehicle would not accelerate after coming to a complete stop. Had to push the gas pedal to the floor to get it to move. Once moving vehicle did not have the get up and go like before. Once off of the interstate I took the back roads home. Also the car would not rev when in park. I will be taking the vehicle into the dealership tomorrow. Not sure if this is part of the problem or not but lately when I come to a stop the engine shudders when at a stop.
