I think i broke a motor mount or something. this happened yesterday. Droped my friend off at home after school and was leaving so i put it in drive and hit the gas. Instantly the Pedal stuck itself to the floor and the car jumped and took off like HELL!

I kicked the pedal again to see if i could get it to come back out like it go stuck or something but it wouldnt come back. so i hit the brake and locked the wheels then the pedal came back and the engine returned to idle. this scared the living crud out of me.

Only thing i can come up with is broken motor mount. when the engine torques its pulling the carb farther away from the firewall and the bracket to the gas pedal causing the pedal to sink and the motor to run hard. i can drive the car fine as long at i dont hit the gas hard off the line. once im going im ok...if i hit it hard off the line is does the same thing.

I checked the mounts and it looks ok visually and the bolts are all there and everything seems intact. the mounts are about 2 or 3 years old i think. they are the mounts that i got when i bought the car so i know they are not too old.

when i hit the brake to stop the car i can also hear a loud thunk from what sounds like the passenger side but maybe its the drivers not sure.

if i do replace the mounts what the best thing to get? i dont want this to happen again. someone told me the best are 87 ford ranger mounts? something like that...supposed to be stronger. what should i look for? i need something that will hold up to the abuse i put on this car.


help me please!!!! what else should i check
