Consumer Description

ACCELERATOR DOES NOT RETURN TO IDLE ON VERY COLD DAYS. IN NEUTRALL THE ENGINE REVS AT ABOUT 4000 RPM. I HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS WHILE APROACHING INTERSECTIONS. I REALLY NEEDED TO LAY ON THE BRAKES. MY VEHICLE IS 1998 FORD F150 WITH A 5.4 ENGINE. I NO THERE IS A SAFTEY RECALL (98V007) FOR THE SAME VEHICLE WITH A 4.2 L ENGINE BUT MY TRUCK TRUCK HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEIR WAS A KIT AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I ALSO SUSPECT THAT THE KIT IS FOR THE 4.2 LITER ENGINE . *AK
