My father had a runaway a long time ago, the engine was trashed. This was on the old IDI engines. The early ones apparently had a problem with oil from crankcase going back into the intake because of a bad design.
I always imagine me going around to the front of the car and hitting the butterfly valve there on the egr.... but now that i've seen how violent they are, i'm not sure i really wanna risk it. :eek
