My car has been having trouble accelerating recently. Saturday, as I was driving, whenever I hit the gas (after stopping at a stop sign or light), the car would sometimes stall for a second, then jump forward violently and then run normally for a few minutes. The internal car lights would dim for a few seconds and the radio would turn off. After the car starts moving again, several warning lights come on (breaks, ABS, battery) but would turn off after a few seconds. Also, the gas gauge would go down to "E" (car has at least 1/3 tank of gas) but would slowly go back to normal. This happened a few times. Got the car home later that night.
Now, when I try to drive it, the car starts normally (no warning lights), but after putting it in drive and giving it gas, it jumps forward a few times, then dies. Warning lights + Check engine light turns on. Can't drive forward at all anymore. Can be driven in reverse with no problem.
Any advice?
