wth?

so i just went out and started my car and it started fine and after it started it started idling really high when i had the clutch pushed in. Also the light that is always green on the mirror was red. I shut off the car and restarted it like 5 times to make sure it was ok and all the other start ups and idling were fine. Anyone know what happened?

Sounds like you hit the emergency button by accident. One of my friends hit it one time and I was freaking out and hit the on-star button telling them to turn it off before they sent the med team. But yea, my light was red then until a minute after I talked to on-star. Also was red the time I called in for a Taurus that had spun out on the side of the interstate and the driver was unconcious.
