@Jamplu,
Your input has been valuable and thanks so much.I was zeroing in on MAF but wait until you here the problem.

@Digitek,
You were right.Very right my man.I was looking in the wrong place.

@Mlefu,
Ungirohia nda ugichunga.

@Impunity,
Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly I am going back to my Bijuti.Hii Ndijito ni ngumu!

Problem solved.Here is what happened.Some weeks back,the bonnet cable detached from it's lever with a damaged retainer hole.I decided to change the lever and the guy who did the job did not secure the plastic cover well.The cover is usually insulated with lagging material (Anti-heat).Seems as i used the car,this lagging material ,aided by the loose cover finally found it's way to the front of the second acceleration lever and wedged it forward thus pushing the accelerator in.......After securing the cover,all went back to normal.relief nayo?....So Digitek was right,only that i was looking from under the bonnet.Cheers all and thanks.Applause


Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly that was an easy one next time watch keenly what those guyz are doing under the bonnet. sometimes they need a keen eye to watch over how they are reassembling stuff.

@ Njung'e you remind me of my village mechanics who specialize in Landrover 109 and Landcruiser za green (don't know the model). Ukipeleka gari they ask if kama unawaenjoy. But I like their honesty.

Once, after heavy night downpour..i couldn't operate the power windows. Took the car to some mechanics in Narok. Jamaa alizunguka gari like 20 times looking for fuse box, checked the one under the bonnet, things were fine...then he set off to dismantle the switches after almost kung'oa mlango. When I saw he wasn't going to solve the problem, I paid his 5 sok for his efforts. My kawa mechanic just located the right fuses under the glove compartment and replaced it in seconds and all was well.

Then there was this time I arrived at a jua kali to check drive train lubricant levels, a mechanic approached the vehicle na spanner na nyundo. After being told, 'special tools' were required by some mjuaji...he pocketed the items and slowly backed off whistling Laughing out loudly

Nope...but when you see the guy who wanted to built a water harvesting pan, I can give him free technical advice.
