[DML] Sudden acceleration syndrome!



IF this happens to you (see previous posts) the first thing to do is disconnect your Idle Speed ECU. The engine will idle differently, mine was a little higher, but it will run. And it will run without the engine accelerating on its' own. This is NOT a long term solution only an emergency operating procedure. It should get you home. I think we're going to see more of these go as the cars age.
 
By the way, if this doesn't stop the problem then you've probably got a loose connection somewhere or a vacuum leak. Do the ECU disconnect first as it is the easiest check. The others are a time consuming hunt. 
 
All the above is just my hair brained advice. (How's that for a disclaimer?)
