What owners wrote
There was a recall on our 1995 s-10 truck and our 1998 chevrolet blazier has the exact same part and is also defective also. The windshield wipers on our 1998 blazier donot work some times they won't work other times and sometimes they won't shut off. Our gas pedal sticks when you try to take off.
Throttle stuck half open while getting on freeway. Found a piece of the throttle body butterfly had broken and fallen in the way so that the butterfly could not close. Looks like a design defect.
