| Gasoline Fuel System problems |
While driving the vehicle, it will suddenly ignore throttle input, and will be idling only. While not stalled, it is difficult to maneuver the vehicle and get out of the way of traffic. This can happen at any time. To remedy the situation, it is necessary to shut the engine off and restart. It can be a dangerous situation because it has happened right at the entrance to a major intersection, and while traveling in congested freeway driving. One repair shop replaced the throttle position sensor, but this has not fixed the problem. It is getting worse, and occurs more frequently than ever.
