CarS engine would suddenly go to full throttle on itS own. Rpms would race for a moment then return to normal. Dealer said it was carbon build up. We had hunter Chevrolet in hendersonville, nc perform the 30,000 mile service maintenance 10/30/01 which included cleaning out the throttle body. On 11/3/01 while my husband was making a left-hand turn, the throttle again went to full throttle causing him to lose control of car and crashing. Did $7,500 worth of damage. Got the car back in January 2002 and on 2/13/02 the car again went to full throttle on itS own causing me to lose control of the car and wrecking it again.
