    ZD30 engine safety featre

    I saw a question about power loss on the zd30 motor, so just for the people that are not aware the 3.0 motor has a boost safety feature built into the computer (I believe it was introduced into the late 2001 models after so many motors had problems in 2000-2001)..
    When boost is to high for to long the computer cuts power to the motor and the accelerator pedal becomes dead, this prevents damage to the engine..
    When the accelerator pedal is completely released then power is restored and vehicle runs normal again, you are free to accelerate (basically foot off and back on)

    Just thought I would post this up, might save someone from replacing sensors and spending their hard earned cash on something that's not a problem..
