Van broke down?


Accelerator return spring broke, throttle went wide start, motor red lined and a rod probably went through the side of the motor. Look for holes surrounded by the block. I doubt if the motor will run and if you crank it over it either will knock loud or be locked up. Might as well try starting it for a moment to see if it's blown.

Answers:    sounds approaching the throttle stuck wide open. Was he getting on the freeway when it happen? If there is oil everywhere, he probably lost the motor. I would check the throttle. If you can remove the atmosphere cleaner or air intake to check the butterfly and make sure its closed. If its not, afterwards something has got the throttle stuck general open. That needs to be address first and fore most.
