| Throttle position sensor failed causing engine to race. the vehicle lurched forward and impacted the brick wall by the side of the garage door. the impact knocked the driver unconscious. when he came to the engine was still racing and the tires were spinning. he killed the engine by turning the key off. it bent the bumper and it caused damage to the house. having a throttle position sensor that can fail in a non fail safe mode is a safety hazard. *ph *nlm **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**769765 | |||

| I do not kmow why my vehicle malfunctioned but if anyone elses vehicle has ever malfunctioned as mine did, someone could be killed. my truck just started running full throttle for no reason. luckily i got it stopped and noone got hurt. i have not been to a mechanic yet, so i do not know the reason for the malfunction. what ever the reason, ford motor company should make the part that malfunctioned to not work at all, rather than run full throttle, some one could be killed.*ak | |||
