All Power Trainautomatic Transmission Complaints
1990 FORD ESCORT WITH 1.9 L ENGINE, THROTTLE-BODY FUEL INJ, AND MAN 5-SPEED TRANSM. APPROX 8 HWY MILES FROM HOME, PASSING THRU SMALL TOWN WITH 25-MPH LIMIT, SIGNAL LIGHT, AND RR CROSSING, THE FORD'S ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED TO INCREDIBLY HIGH RPM'S. FRIGHTENED, I IMMEDIATELY PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH. NO FLOOR MAT OR STUCK ACCELERATOR/MECHANICAL PROBLEMS EXISTED. APPARENTLY THIS WAS A COMPUTER CAUSE. WITHIN SECONDS, PERHAPS 4 TO 8 SECONDS, I WAS PREPARED TO TURN OFF THE KEY IGNITION TO THE VEHICLE. I TRIED PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ONCE (IN FORMER CARBURETED AUTOS, SUCH AN ACTION WOULD SETTLE A REVVED ENGINE NORMALLY). PRESSING ACCELERATOR HAD NO EFFECT. THEN WITHIN THAT RANGE OF JUST SECONDS, THE VEHICLE SETTLED ITSELF PRIOR TO MY REACHING A RAILROAD CROSSING. CONDITIONS INVOLVED SMOOTH ROADWAY, A GRADUAL DECLINE OF SPEED (NORMAL OPERATION THROUGH MOST OF THIS) FROM 55 TO 45 TO 35 TO 25 NEAR THE SIGNAL LIGHT...
