Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | From standing stop or while in motion at highway speeds, stomp the accelerator to command immediate acceleration: accelerator sometimes sticks in wide open throttle resulting in unintended sustained acceleration. First counter-measure tried - slap the gear selector handle to neutral position; however, engine remains in wot condition. Second counter-measure - push the engine off switch and coast to a stop. Third counter-measure - stop the accelerator pedal again until it comes un-stuck. In light of the effectiveness of counter-measure #3, i believe the fault is in the linkage from the accelerator pedal to the throttle control - probably in the accelerator pedal linkage itself. |
