I AM REPORTING A PROBLEM WHICH MAY RELATE TO ACCELERATION DUE TO COMPUTER FAILURE. MY 1991 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER REVVED UP CONSIDERABLY AS I SAT IN NEUTRAL AFTER TRAVELING AT 45 TO 50 MPH FOR 7 HOURS. I WAS DRIVING FROM RICHMOND, VA TO ALBANY, GA AND SETTING THE PACE FOR A RENTAL TRUCK ON A VERY WINDY DAY. IT ONLY HAPPENED ON THE ONE DAY. I NO LONGER OWN THE CAR.
