| When pulling out from a stop sign, the car accelerated up a hill reaching a speed of close to 90 mph within a short distance. the car was difficult to control and almost collided with an oncoming car. only by putting the transmission into neutral was it possible to slow the car down and pull off the road. once off the road the engine continued to run in the 6000 to 7000 rpm range. it was not possible to slow down the engine speed. after shutting off the engine and restarting, the engine continued to run at these high rpm. the car was towed to a ford dealer that evening (incident occurred in the evening). the next morning, i went to the car dealer and started the car. it ran fine. ford did replace the throttle body. car has been running fine but we are concerned it could happen again. | |||
