Description of the problem | I had noticed a slight restriction in the accelerator peddle for an extended period. On the date above, i pressed down on the peddle. When i took my foot off the peddle it stayed down and the vehicle began accelerating rapidly. To gain control i turned slightly to the right and turned off the key to slow to a stop. I removed the plastic cover that encloses the throttle body. It was securely in place. When i took the cover off the throttle snapped closed. It now operates normally with the throttle body cover removed. All parts are in good condition and exhibit no wear. |
