#1 of 1 2001 SF - engine revs up with out me pushing the gas by ca100 Aug 09, 2009 (3:31 pm)
My 2001 Santa Fe revs up with out me pushing on the gas. It will do it in every gear, while I'm driving and while I'm idle. I just replaced the battery and the alternator and it still doing it. I thought the problem might be electrical because both my bat. and alt. where going out. I do have a check engine light. I hooked it up to a computer and it gives a message about the coolent. I don't know the exact code or the exact message. My father-in-law did it for me. Has anyone experienced this and/or knows how to fix it.
