STARTED VEHICLE. ENGINE WENT INTO FAST RUNNING SPEED WITH STARTER RUNNING ALSO. COULD NOT STOP THE ENGINE FROM RUNNING. TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND NOTHING HAPPENED. ENGINE KEEP RUNNING AT HIGH SPEED. A VERY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. PUT CLUTCH IN ALL THE WAY AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. IT STOPPED. THEN WHEN I RELEASED THE CLUTCH WITH THE KEY OFF THE STARTER STARTED UP AGAIN BY ITSELF. THE ENGINE AGAIN RUNNING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I DID THIS 3 MORE TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF 4. I THEN SMELLED RAW GAS. IT FINIALLY STOPPED. I CALLED PURVIS FORD IN FREDERICKSBURG. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS. I CALLED A WRECKER COMPANY AND THE TRUCK WAS SENT TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE I DO BUSINESS.
