It may be the idle air control valve. Sometimes they get gunky and can get stuck in the open position, which can cause you car to act like you're pressing on the gas a little even when you aren't. They're usually fairly simple to replace, just two screws hold it in on the throttle body. You should be able to get one from a junkyard for a few bucks or even free if its bad, or you can even try taking yours out, spraying it with engine degreaser so it gets unstuck (read instructions on can of degreaser) and putting it back in. I'm a tiny female who can barely work a screwdriver and I fixed mine myself when the mechanic quoted me $200 to replace it.

Also look for a vacuum leak, or a sticky throttle plate (carbon build up), or a broken return spring.

What happens when you put an electric motor with higher resistance and a light bulb with less resistance in a series circuit. does the bulb light up and motor spin. or only the motor spin?

(Another possibility is: Bulb lights up and motor does not spin.)The result all depends on the relative resistance of the bulb and the motor, becausethat determines how much of the supply voltage appears across the light bulb, andhow much across the motor.That's one of the big problems with a series circuit: The performance of one devicedepends on the characteristics of the other devices in the same circuit. If you turnthe light off, the motor can't run at all. If the load on the motor changes, then thelight bulb flickers. And if you change the light bulb and put in one with a differentresistance, then the strength of the motor changes.
