So I had something strange happen with my S today. I drove it to work and parked it, when got in to come home i started it and the idle went nuts... from stalling and dash lights coming on to 1200 RPM... I let it do this for a minute then it smoothed out slightly. After the idle smoothed out a bit I went to drive the car and the gas pedal didn't work at all... no throttle. Now when I start the car there is a grinding sound intermittently and the rough idle issue is still present. Any ideas?
