I was the news tonight and they had some more news on the Toyota unintended acceleration problem. Besides the metal bar replacement they are doing to fix the problem the news station mentioned that Toyota was using during the last two model years a new electronic accelerator device rather than the old hardward linkage they used to use for acceleration control. In other words, there was no direct linkage between the accelerator pedal and the fuel injectors in the cylinders to produce accleration. It was done by radio signal. OMG! I hope that haven't put those on Nissans! I can just imagine someone using their cell phone and it sets off the accelerator signal and off you go to the races!!! Does anyone know if the Nissan have a hardware linkage setup on their accelerators or have they gone to electronic accelerators too???
