The throttle on my 1996 chev 4x4 ext. Cab short bed pickup sticks forcing me to apply extensive foot pressure to the pedal in order for the vehicle to move forward. This causes the vehicle to lurch forward. I had the problem repaired twice but it returns. I understand that there was a recall on this safety hazard known as "throttle cable may contact dash mat". However, the recall did not specifically include my make and model. Thus, I continue to repair without eliminating the safety hazard.
I have a 1996 Chevrolet c1500 originally equipped with a 5 liter which was replaced with a 5. 7 liter. I replaced the fuel pump and sending unit due to the old part was no longer good. Within 2 months the new part shorted out, frying one of the wires on the inside part of sending unit, inside the fuel tank. I again replaced the part thinking I had bought a defective item the first time. I am now starting to get the same symptoms it had the last time right before the last sending unit went out. I did an electric check on the old/new fuel pump and it was o. K. . The symptoms are, when I'm coming to a red light the vehicle stalls out and dies. I put it in neutral, crank it, and it starts back on. It did the same thing last time until finally it failed to start. I know of a 1996 Chevrolet astro with a 4. 3 liter and it also suffers from the same problem and uses the exact same part number. Any suggestions that do not involve tnt would be highly appreciated.
