Engine Performance problem
1998 Ford Mustang V8 Automatic 139500 miles
My car will (random times) start reving when I accelerate....the rpm goes from low to 2+ very fast. This incident only seems to happen when I change the car from park and start driving or when I am idle/at a stop sign and start to get back up to speed. I have had problems with this car and got some work done already. I had new struts/shocks put on, the transmission serviced (filter, oil, etc.). My mechanic said that the transmission oil was disgusting...and appeared to be many types of fluids mixed together. I most recently had the oxygen sensor replaced and my mechanic also told me that the previous one was barely working. Today, I got an oil change hoping that, for some reason, it would fix my reving problem when I accelerate. I have had an experience with a car whose transmission went...and it was a more serious case of what seems to be happening with my mustang. PLEASE...try and help me figure out what the issue is. I love this car and havent had it for very long. I need to get this issue resolved ASAP. Thanks!
