Description of the problem | Unexpected high rpm acceleration from rest. Started the engine and put the vehicle in... Rpms jumped to 4,000 and vehicle accelerated until brakes applied and engine shut off. Luckily no vehicles behind me. The vehicle left 20 foot long burn marks in the pavement before i could react and slam on the brakes and shut off the vehicle. Over the next 15 minutes, i carefully started the engine with my foot on the brake pedal... Each time the engine started normally and within a few seconds the engine accelerated to 3000 to 4000 rpms without me ever touching the accelerated (my foot stayed on the brake pedal). Each time i quickly hit the stop button. After waiting for several hours for the non-appearance of a tow truck... I carefully started the engine again. But this time, it ran correctly. I carefully drove to a nearby ford dealership, where it now sits waiting for a diagnosis. If there had been any other vehicles behind me in the parking lot... I would have impacted on or more. |
