I am reporting a problem which may relate to acceleration due to computer failure. My 1991 chrysler new yorker revved up considerably as I sat in neutral after traveling at 45 to 50 MPH for 7 hours. I was driving from richmond, va to albany, ga and setting the pace for a rental truck on a very windy day. It only happened on the one day. I no longer own the car.

Black smoke and large flames appeared from the vehicle. The fire department extinguished the fire. The vehicle was towed an independent mechanic, who indicated the fuel rail failed. *ak while parked in the parking lot with the key still in the ignition switch but with the engine turned of, the consumer realized that the engine was on fire. The fire may have started while the engine was not running, but the fire wasn't noticed when the engine was off. The fire was possibly started by the fuel rail, this was not an electrical fire per consumer. *sc
Engine and transmission were replaced at 190,000 miles due to fuel injection line busting. Gas leaked onto exhaust. Consumer believed it was a fire hazard.
Fuel rail is leaking bad and is very dangerous. There has been recalls on the same thing in other years but none on mine. Somthing this dangerous should be at least discounted on repair.
Problems with 1991 chrysler new yorker ABS system.*mr the consumer received a recall notice regarding the ABS, but the dealer refused to service the vehicle without a filter and regulator. The consumer also stated the vehicle needed tires and a fuel rail. (recall # 96v099000). *jb

My husband replaced 2 o-rings that were leaking fuel, ($18.00!) only to discover the profuse spraying of fuel onto the engine. Brought it to dodge country. Its still there, and will cost $600 to repair for parts and labor! Please respond with any info.
Fuel is leaking from fuel injection rail,causing a fire hazard. Consumer is aware of recall#98v18400, and states it is same defect, but recall does not include new yorker, 1991.
Fuel rail leaked at the middle of rail which was crimped and caused fuel to leak onto engine compartment. This may cause a fire. There is a back order on fuel rail, which seemed to be a major problem.
