VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL

APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT REALIZED I HAD NO ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND I HAD BRAKES, I PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND IT STARTED TO SMOKE, THEN FLAMES. MY WONDERFUL LINCOLN WAS TOTALED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS ANY PROBLEM. NO LIGHTS WENT ON THE CAR NEVER STALLED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY FELT THE LINE WAS BURNING, AND I LOST THE ACCELERATOR BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY ON FIRE AND BURNED THROUGH. I CHECKED THE RECALLS FOR 1991 LINCOLNS AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FUEL LINES, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. THEREFORE WE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL.
