general problems of the 1997 Chevrolet Blazer

Throttle stuck brakes could not stop vehicle. Lost control and rolled. Lucky I was on my property and not a public road. No report. Can be inspected. Available anytime. This is not the only year of this model I have had this problem I have had two 2002 that have had same problem.

1997 Chevrolet Blazer engine revved to a very high rpm. After the vehicle hit a pothole in the street the engine revved very high. It revved somewhere around 4500 rpm's. The consumer popped to hood to see if he could determine what caused the problem but couldn't find anything wrong. The next day the consumer inspected the vehicle and found that butterfly valve was open and showed where the wedge shaped piece was supposed to be riveted on. It appeared that the wedge piece broke away from the rivets and pivoted down into the throat of the injector body causing the computer to sense the need to floor the gas pedal.

I was driving along and the engine raced out of control, with my foot on the brake I was doing 50 - 55 mph. If there was more traffic, there would have been a crash. Now the dealership(hoskins Chevrolet-elk grove village,IL) says the vehicle performs normally.

While the a/c system is activated, rpms go up 1300 -1800 and vehicle accelerates. But braking system does slow it down. Dealer cannot determine the problem.

Throttle body broke apart ,causing accelerator to open up and speed forward without touching gas pedal. Dealer contacted. Please add VIN.

While driving vehicle will accelerate on its own up to 35mph without pressing the gas pedal. Consumer states this happens three to four times a day. To stop acceleration driver has to put the vehicle in nutural while moving and shut enigine down. Dealer has been contacted.

I would like to attach this to the previous comment that the front throttle body plates need constant cleaning as well. I would like to also enter a correction that my vehicle does have a abs brake system.
