The problem
THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP THROTTLE SHAFT BUSHING MAY BE CONTAMINATED WITH A HEAT SENSITIVE LIQUID POLYMER WHICH CAN SOLIDIFY ON THE BUSHING AT NORMAL ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO STICK. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THROTTLE LEVER MAY STICK AND NOT RETURN TO LOW IDLE POSITION AFTER ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
What owners should do
REPLACE FUEL INJECTION PUMP GOVERNOR HOUSING WITH A NEW HOUSING CONTAINING NEW BUSHINGS FREE OF CONTAMINATION.
