I have a 98 Sable with the standard V6 and encountered a problem today. When I started the car, it started rough for the first time in its 98K miles. When I pulled out, the car was very rough, shakey and what not. I thought it might be a plug or something that was fouled by the rough start. However, while I was driving home at highway speed I noticed that when I took my foot off the gas the car did not slow down (almost as if the cruise control was on) and sometimes sped up. When I got back to side roads, and would press the accelerator there would be a hesitation (a deep pause) and then a quick jump. Any ideas?

I'm hearing a possible problem with your Throttle Position Sensor. I suggest getting it checked out at a shop. Hope that helps.

guessing a fuel problem. check the error codes at auto zone and see what you have.
