When I come to a stop my car will lunge forward as I take my foot of the brake. The rpms notably rise from 700 to over 1000. This has recently started with 66,000 miles on the car.

Surging of the car at a dead stop at red lights, drive ins, stop signs. My tech, with analyzer while driving, could see that it was in the electrical circuit of the throttle body.

problem #1

Montego

  • 38,716 miles
Clip holding fuel filter hose to the fuel filter failed allowing the hose to come loose and leak fuel under pressure. The car had only been driven 4 blocks so the exhaust system was still cool. Had the exhaust system been hot and the failure occurred at high speed a fire would most likely have occurred. The fuel filter had not been changed, as confirmed by my service records, making it the filter installed at the factory.
