2002 Hyundai Elantra – Engine Running Problem

When I start my 2002 Hyundai Elantra POS car my RPM shoot to about 3000 then slowly keep rising. Also, when I drove it my car, for the lack of a better term, drove itself. I would let off the gas and it would maintain speed with a little decrease in speed. I know it needs work just hoping I could have some info before I go in there.

My 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix has a problem. When we last were in the car the AC blower wasn’t working on speed 5, then all of a sudden it started working on 5 and won’t shut off (even when the car is turned off). Any suggestions?

2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Automatic Transmission

I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara edition with an automatic transmission. It has 92,000 miles on it. I have changed the filter and fluid twice since I have had it. I bought it at 30,000 miles. It has had small amounts of metal in the pan (magnet). Is this normal or am I looking at rebuilding it (transmission) soon? I keep a close watch on fluids. It is always at the correct level.
