ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN SOUTH FLORIDA ABOUT 70MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. AFTER COASTING A SHORT DISTANCE TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT BY OVERTAKING VEHICLES, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT A FHP OFFICER ARRIVED AND HELPED ME OFF THE ROAD. ONCE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE TO MY DESTINATION.

POWER TRAIN
STICKING THROTTLE..THROTTLE STICKS AT ANY RPM ABOVE 2300. I AM GLAD THAT THIS IS A STANDARD SHIFT AUTOMOBILE WHERE I CAN ENGAGE THE CLUTCH TO STOP THE CAR. IF THIS WERE AN AUTOMATIC SHIFT CAR, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THROTTLE CONTINUES TO STICK EVEN WITHOUT ANY FLOOR MATS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE THROTTLE PEDDLE. PLACING TOE BEHIND THROTTLE PEDDLE TO LOWER RPM HAS NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER.. *TR
