VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY THROTTLE PLATE BROKE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A COUNTY ROAD, I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND MY TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE TO UNCONTROLLABLE SPEEDS OF 75 M.P.H. I THEN PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT STUCK SOMEHOW. I STARTED MY ENGINE AND IT IDLED A LITTLE HIGHER THAN NORMAL AT ABOUT 2000 R.P.M.'S. I DIDNT THINK TOO MUCH OF IT AND STARTED HOME. BY THE TIME I WAS AT MY HOUSE I COULD BARELY CONTROL MY TRUCK, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO PUSH IN THE CLUTCH BECAUSE THE ENGLINE FLEW TO OVER 3700 R.P.M.'S IF I DID SO. WHEN I GOT HOME, I CALLED A TOW SERVICE AND HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC. HE SAID MY THROTTLE PLATE HAD BROKE WHICH HE HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND SAID I WAS VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE, MUCH LESS HAVE AN ENGINE. HE FIXED IT FOR $510.*AK
