Dt: school bus loaded with kids making a right turn onto an upgrade. the bus driver experienced a problem of no accelerating leaving the bus stranded on the intersection. this was without warning, the check engine light came on after the failure. the bus did move after a few minutes. this occurred 3-4 times in an 2 block area. another driver took the bus and felt at initial start up it seemed alright and then problem began again. after a short set, the bus was driven 11 miles before it started again at which time it did so several times. a different accelerator assembly was installed on bus. the bus was driven 50 miles with no problems. the old assembly was placed back in and the dealership found no fault and could not duplicate the problem. bus is currently in repair shop. *jb |
