My car would rev up really loud after I started it and would last for 1 minute or 1 minute and half until I depress the accelirator . Recently my car will keep on revving up in low speed and while in interstate, I could feel the engine really loud while driving at high speed and I won't speed up in low speed except giving loud sound. I feel its dangerous not safe to drive when it do that.
