| Description of the problem | 2018 ford f-250 4x4 with 6. 2l gasoline engine: under certain specific conditions, the truck will continue to accelerate after driver input is stopped. The engine will continue to rev up (all the way to red-line) while in gear even though the accelerator pedal has been released. This happens under the following conditions: - vehicle is in a "cold start" condition (engine not up to temp) - vehicle is in "m" (manual transmission driver select mode) - vehicle is commanded to initially accelerate with the pedal, but then pedal is subsequently released, and yet engine continues to run up to red-line - vehicle will slow down if the brakes are applied - vehicle will again speed up as soon as fuel pedal is pressed to a level of approximately 2300rpm each time, and then the engine management system essentially starts this "run away" free rev condition. - the condition is more prominent when the truck is in "4l" mode, but can happen in "4h" or even "2h'. - condition is repeatable; this is not an isolated event and can be made to happen when conditions are as stated - condition has been exhibited on other similar vehicles with similar build data; other vehicle owners i have spoken with have had this same condition happen to them |
