You're right of course!!
:rofl:

Lets beat the horse a little more, she may not be dead.

Ok I can see a sticky pedal, but if this is the case then it would just stick where it was.

Several people have mentioned emi, yes I'm included, but has anyone read that there are cases where the throttle runs away? If so I want a link, or is this all hear-say and or speculation.

Every time I drive my Nomad or my 37 Ford the pedal seems to go to the floor intermittently... Sometimes there is someone in another car beside me that seems to be having the same issue. Can you help me with this problem?

Yes, I will need your keys and it involves a blind fold..........

I too have wondered about the runaway part of the stories. You can't seem to get any real good info translated from the media.
When owners tell their stories it reminds me of people at work explaining how the machine got broke, they don't know how to explain it right to begin with most of the time. Then when you look at the situation you can tell they broke it and lied.

I keep wondering about how close the alternator is the throttle body?

In all the cases of the emi messing with the computerized controls from the annealer which was 1500 to 3000 amps everything was increased in values or did not record correctly. There was a distance of 15' to start and it took 5' more and a metal cabinet wall to finally get it to stop.

EMI is a serious thing to consider as it only takes an unsheilded wire end that was not properly installed in a connector.

I run a "radio" in my truck.... and use a 500W Class A linear amplifier... (ham operator)... and have a BANKS big hoss bundle in the truck... which uses a Palm E2 Titanium PDA for the software controller....

Kick the radio on and key up - and it kicks that little PDA right between the eyes... the RFI causes all manor of error codes!!

This thread also had me wondering.... why would any of us care about a TOYOTA - or a PRIUS... :rofl: :rofl:

So you wouldn't support plans for a synergy drive swap in my Impala? :D :rolleyes:

Pokey --

Yes! I'd support your swapping some ENERGY into your Impala... :rofl: :rofl:

Found this today on the Internet.... and it basically states what many here have said.... that perhaps they really don't have a clue.

A US Congressional committee has cast doubts on Toyota's plans to fix its two acceleration problems.
In a memo to lawmakers it said there was growing evidence neither Toyota nor federal safety officials had identified all the faults.

Not all the facts are in yet...give it time...this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Not sure what's worse,not disclosing the truth,the spin on the coverup,or all the lies on having the proper fix.
