The problem
THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP THROTTLE SHAFT BUSHING MAY BE CONTAMINATED WITH A HEAT SENSITIVE LIQUID POLYMER WHICH CAN SOLIDIFY ON THE BUSHING AT NORMAL ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO STICK. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THROTTLE LEVER MAY STICK AND NOT RETURN TO LOW IDLE POSITION AFTER ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
The fix
REPLACE FUEL INJECTION PUMP GOVERNOR HOUSING WITH A NEW HOUSING CONTAINING NEW BUSHINGS FREE OF CONTAMINATION.
SYSTEM: FUEL INJECTOR PUMP. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS.
