The problem
Throttle blade icing may occur during extended highway driving at temperatures below 10 degrees f.
The risk
Ice formation can prevent throttle blade from closingto the idle postion when the accelerator pedal is released, creating apotential for loss of control, which could result in an accident.
The fix
Install anchor plate under base of throttle; heated engine coolant will be flowed through an adapter plate to eliminate ice formation on the throttle blade.
