Moving to the TL section for you. You should be able to get some assistance from fellow 3G owners in there!

Your post is a tad confusing...it appears to be missing punctuation so not exactly clear on when things are happening. Not sure how it can idle when accelerating? Can you clarify a bit more please?

Are you saying the engine stays at idle speed when you press the pedal? Like it's not shifting/catching a gear?
