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.

Default RE: Sudden acceleration

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