problem #2

Dec 311998

(reported on)

Venture

  • miles
Engine randomly goes to full throttle when braking. This occurs only after the van has been driven long enough for the engine to get to run temp. The van is then parked (engineoff) for about 30 to 45 min. Then engine is restarted. When the brakes are next applied the engine goes to full throttle. This is a random event and will not always occur when the previous conditions are present. (like the tragedy in minneapolis Dec 4 1998)
