Consumer Description

ENGINE RACED OUT OF CONTROL ON STARTUP. DESPITE MY HEARING PROBLEM, I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION BEFORE LEAVING "PARK". IF I HAD PUT THE CAR IN "DRIVE" I WOULD HAVE SMAHED INTO THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE SERVICE STATION SAID THAT THE IDLE SPEED CONTROL UNIT HAD FAILED. IT WAS JAMMED IN THE FULL THROTTLE POSITION AND COULDN'T BE REPAIRED. *AK
