Pontiac G6 - engine frequently revs up when trying to accelerate.
Pontiac G6 2010. Lately when accelerating from idle, the engine revs up when I accelerate, pressing the gas pedal with moderate force. The RPM will go up to 3500 or so. If I back off it comes down but to gain speed I have to gently apply pressure to gas pedal or it will rev up again. I usually back off the accelerator to let it come back down. The best way to get up to normal in-town speed is to go very slowly from 0 to driving speed. When needing to accelerate in a hurry the reving issue kicks in. This doesn't seem normal. It is especially likely to happen if the air-conditioner is on. Turn it off, and it behaves better
