2000 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS LUNGES FORWARD (RPM INCREASE @1000 AND LOUD GROWL FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT) WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND/OR ALREADY STOPPED AT A LIGHT. EVERYTHING RETURNS TO NORMAL WHEN I ACCELERATE AGAIN, UNTIL THE NEXT LIGHT. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT VERY ANNOYING. THERE HAVE BEEN NO "INCIDENTS" FROM THIS SINCE I NOW KNOW TO EXPECT IT, BUT I COULD CERTAINLY SEE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. I AM REENTERING THIS AS I THINK I MARKED THE INCORRECT YEAR MAKE ON MY PREVIOUS SUBMISSION. IT IS ACTUALLY A 2000. *TR
