Consumer Description
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR WILL JUST LOSE ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE, THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING, BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO FIND SOME PLACE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THEN RESTART THE ENGINE AND THEN IT WILL RUN GOOD. THE ISSUE HAPPENS SOMETIMES UP SIX TIMES IN ONE DAY, AND THEN YOU CAN GO A WEEK WITHOUT AN ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE WITH SPEEDS AS LOW AS 20 MPH ALL THE WAY UP TO 70 MPH. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE IT WOULD APPEAR TO POSSIBLY BE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. APPARENTLY THIS THROTTLE BODY USES A SERVO TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE BUTTERFLY THAT ALLOWS AIR INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND IT LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND YOU CAN NOT FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER TO RESTART THE CAR. *TR
