Consumer Description

I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED AT 177,800 MILES THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING ENGINE SURGES. WHILE DRIVING IF I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH ENGINE WOULD RISE TO 2000 RPMS. IF I PULLED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL UP WITH TIP OF MY FOOT, THE ENGINE RPMS WOULD RETURN NORMAL. AT 177, 900 MILES THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WAS CLEANED, AND I AM NO LONGER EXPERIENCING ENGINE SURGES.
