CAR STALLED ON LEFT TURN. CAR BACKED UP AND DARTED OUT INTO TRAFFIC RUNNING INTO MY FRIEND AND I ON THE BACK OF HIS MOTORCYCLE. THE ACCIDENT KILLED TWO AND SEVERELY INJURED ME. THE 1984 CHEVROLET CITATION HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FLOATER INTAKE VALVE CAUSING IT TO STALL ON A LEFT. INVESTIGATORS MISSED THIS DETAIL. I AM IN CONSTANT PAIN AND I AM HAVING TROUBLE USING THIS WEB SITE. I HAVE SUFFERED BRAIN DAMAGE BESIDES THE BROKEN AND CRUSHED BONES THAT THE ACCIDENT LEFT ME WITH. *NM
