Continuing idling and acceleration problems. On January 21, 2000, one month after second repair attempt, while driving vehicle it suddenly lost power then violently jolted forward causing temporary loss of control. (note: driver's foot did not touch accelerator). Driver then noticed "engine" check light suddenly come on (subsequently learned this indicates a fuel injection problem).
