throttle and gear problems?
 
i had a new clutch put into my 8 and has been sitting for a few months with no battery in the car. well now its up and running and put 62 miles around town on the new clutch and ofcourse a new battery installed aswell. well after these 62 miles my i push the gas pedal just a little bit then it automatically push the the floor. i had to reach down to pull the throttle up. next thing a mile later it stopped going into gear... if you force it into gear it stalls or grinds reallly bad.. funny part it will not even get into gear. so with the car off and it in any gear with the cluitch all the way down it just cranks. these are two prolly different problems but i didnt know if they would be related.. im assuming its a computer problem... so if someone would guide me and direct me on where two start.. like i said it just happened over night.. litterally 62 miles is what ive put it on and i had the thing up in running a week ago with no problems til last night.

So the gas pedal goes to the floor, or the clutch pedal does? If it is the clutch pedal check to see if the clutch pedal bracket is broken, then check your fluid. If your gas pedal stays down then there is something wrong in the pedal assembly.

well if it is a pedal broke problem.. could it be something electronic? like electronic throttle?

yes, but clarify which pedal your talking about

two seperate problems.. my clutch pedal takes a min to spring back up.. im convinced it just needs re bleed.. i think there is air in the system meaning the people didnt do a good job.

the other problem is the gas pedal.. as it idles back up and down.. you can step on the gas pedal and it doesnt respond.. just the up and down idle.. im not sure with that.
