I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE THROTTLE WENT WIDE OPEN AND THE TACHOMETER WENT TO MAXIMUM RPMS. I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH WHILE THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT MAXIMUM RPMS FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS. I WAS STARTLED AND DID NOT HAVE THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION. EVENTUALLY THE REVVING SUBSIDED FROM MAXIMUM BUT CONTINUED TO SURGE UNTIL I FINALLY PARKED THE CAR AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE OPERATION WAS NORMAL HOWEVER THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND THE RESULT OF THIS MALFUNCTION WAS ENGINE DAMAGE THAT REQUIRED REBUILDING THE ENGINE. *TR
