    Maybe the throttle valve stuck a bit and when you gave it some gas it kicked open? I dunno kinda a weird one. I'd chock it up as a glitch but if it happens again look more into it...

    Have your alternator checked.....

    If the battery is completely dead, there won't be enough power to allow the spark plugs to function or even the door locks,etc.

    On our corvette, the battery was sooooooooooo dead.... it wouldn't even operate the door locks to unlock the doors using keyless entry.

    You can charge up the battery but it'll be sucked dry pretty quickly if the alternator isn't functioning properly. Just something to have checked.
