| Description of the problem | As i pulled away from a stop sign i throttled up to reach the appropriate speed limit and my 2006 ford f250 6. 0 went wide open throttle out of nowhere. I mashed on my brakes to try to slow the truck down, to no success. I flashed my lights and strobe lights at on coming traffic as well as blew the horn to make other drivers aware that i could not stop. Luck being against me this day the first vehicle i approached was a nc state trooper. I had to turn off my ignition to stop the truck but the engine kept running at 4500 rpm so i slammed it in park. The state trooper gave me a ticket for passing him at 80mph in a 45. Keep in mind that my truck is equipped with an sct livewire tuner, so when it opened up it launched like a rocket. This is the second time i've had the throttle issue, the first time was the same case except i did not had a tune on the vehicle. There has been several reported cases of this happening, with and without tuners on the vehicle. Please share your insight if any one knows the cause of this issue. |
