john

Times: Experts say throttles to blame for sudden acceleration by
john
Motorists and experts say throttles, not floor mats, to blame for
sudden acceleration
Amid widening concern over acceleration events, Toyota has cited
'floor mat entrapment.' But reports point to another potential cause:
the electronic throttles that have replaced mechanical systems.

on today at low rpm - basically below about 800 rpm, particularly when

If you don't have chains, I have read before (many years ago) about a

Running without a smog pump? by
TomO[_1_]
The bearing/bushing has failed on the smog pump on my '87 Isuzu Trooper
2.3L.
What problems will likely be caused if I just remove the belt ( it's all
on its own ) and don't bother to replace it? I don't live in a place
where emissions tests are required.
