About 3 - 4 times per year, the car engine races without any reason why. It is necessary to stand on the brake & shift into neutral; and then wait til the engine stops racing (usually 15 - 25 seconds). Until 2 days ago (8/21/2014), it has only happened when being alone in the car. However, on this occasion my wife was a passenger. She was quite upset over this there is usually no indication when it is going to happen, but on this occasion, the brakes did not seem to be working properly when I pulled into a store parking lot. Came to a stop sign, and the engine began it's racing. Shifted into neutral and waited about 15 seconds, while also applying the brakes. The car then returned to normal. Except for noticing some difficulty with the brakes, this was the usual racing incident that has been encountered over the years. Since it has only been me in the past in the vehicle, I did not feel a need to report the incidents.
