Description of the problem | Driving on highway. The vehicle started racing. Could not stop. Put in nuetral,engine racing. Shut engine . Later found that the hook from servo had rusted and broken off and the bar attached to the throttle had gotten stuck in the throttle. This hook should not be of a material that can rust & break off like that. Also i have looked into the service manual & there is no mention of service to that part atall. Why will the mechanic even look at that part if there is no mention for maintenance to that part. That just means that gm felt that this part shall last till i can drive the car. I could have had a major accident and i could stop only because i knew what to do. The engine was reving like crazy when i stopped.*ak |
