Default Sudden acceleration

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I was driving my 82 240 and the car started to accelerate without me. AND - it was so much that the brakes couldn't hold it back. I had to flip the car into neutral. This happened twice. Any suggestions. And...by the way...the gas pedal was not stuck.

Thanks in advance.

You need to have the fuel system inspected.
Something with the C/I injection might be sticking or not working properly.
