Engine rev's up on it's own. I discussed this with a dealer and was told this will happen when the catalytic converter cleans it's self. The first time I was in a parking lot and not in any danger, the second, third and fourth I was driving in traffic but I had control of the situation but the last time I was in my garage and almost drove into my house wall this is very dangerous! I think this needs to be corrected. I still have not gotten any reply over the loss of steering I reported about 2 months ago on this same vehicle, this is also a dangerous problem!.

We bought a truck on ebay from a dealer in texas. When we went to get it inspected in our home state of MD it was discovered that this truck did not have a catalytic converter on it. There was no mention of this missing equipment or the customer exhaust on the auction. Of course to have it pass MD safety inspection we had to spend over $ 700 to have it put back into the truck. My question is it legal for a dealer to sell a truck with out this standard equipment? if not I want to try and have them help cover the cost for this repair. Thanks for your help.
