November 2001 Crash

I experience uncontrollable engine idle speed which causes difficulty in modulating acceleration when leaving a stop. This has the potential fo causing unavoidable collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians.

Tl* the contact owns a 1991 isuzu stylus. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle would stall without warning and then restart. The contact mentioned that sometimes the vehicle would fail to start for days. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the failure was due to a factory defect. The mechanic explained that the manufacturer sprayed anti heat spray on the circuit board, causing excessive shrinkage of the board during the summer and winter weather.
