Did you call the highway patrol and get them to come and get in front of
you to slow you down while going off, then call all the lamestream TV
networks and scream "Unintended Acceleration!!!!" ?
Dude, you could have a new CDI in the driveway!

Dieselvolk,
You may remember a couple weeks ago I 'fixed' my cruise control. During
a test drive, on a long steep downhill, she stopped responding to CC
stalk inputs and kept accelerating. I stepped on the brakes, thinking
that would cancel the tempomat, but when I let off the car picked up
speed again. I thought about shutting off the engine with the key, and
shifting to neutral, but that was too easy. Tested the accel pedal with
my foot, felt a 'click' as the linkage un-jammed itself, and normal
operation was restored.
There's too much slop in the linkage, I think those plastic ends on the
control rods are the major cause, so I need to order some replacement
bits...
Very respectfully,
