When the car starts, it starts good and it stays at 1000 rpm. After a little while that I start driving, it feels like the accelerator is stuck and if I give gas the (S) light on the panel begins flashing, when the car stops on a light, the rpm goes down and the car tryes to shut down by it self. What can I do, Could you guys help me out?

Hi Juanes,

When S light is blinking, an error has been detected with the transmission control or related system.

Bridge the SCS connector and turn on ignition key, count the flashing of the S light and let me know what you have. Long and short flashes should be recorded correctly.

Seems you have an idling issue and the throttle body idle adjust screw and EACV should be cleaned and readjusted to rectify the problem.
