when merging onto I15 in Great Falls, Montana, suddenly the gas pedal wasn't doing anything and the EPC and check engine lights came on! I coasted to an exit, figured out my engine wasn't going above 3,000 RPM's. I drove a few miles back to the Volkswagen dealer we saw, but they couldn't help us at 3 on a Saturday. Made some phone calls-- finally talked to Dad who said not to worry too much. I checked all the fluids and everything seemed/sounded fine, so we limped to Lethbridge, AB tonight (we were only limping in MT, where we couldn't get up to the 75 mph speed limit). Seems like a minor thing, but we'll see in Edmonton. The plan is to get to a VW dealer Monday morning. The EPC light is for a "safety measure" that keeps the RPM's between 1,000 and 3,000 RPM's and won't let me use cruise control. The picture depicts our maximum speed and RPM's.

Dog gone those idiot lights!
Uncle Bill said he drove a mazda PU truck for 7 years with that light on.
But get it looked at - sounds like you are kmaking good decisions! Then keep on truckin'!
