The Humvee takes off on its own like if someone flipped the "After Burner" switch.

The problem is that going at a steady speed, say…. 30 mph without changing the pressure applied on the gas pedal, all of a sudden the truck (1151) behaves like if I floored the pedal, it even downshifts on it’s own and takes off, and if I keep the same pressure on the pedal, it reaches about 50 MPH (or more) and it stays there for 10-15 seconds and then it behaves like I removed the foot from the pedal all together and it goes back to normal.
It does this even at 50 MPH the only difference is that it does not downshifts but you still hear the engine revving up and the speed increases substantially.

I do not believe "Humvee" and "afterburner" have ever been used together before

Is there an animal curled around the injection pump?

hehehe... no... the only animal present is behind the steering wheel

If you have a way of verifying that the injection pump is doing this on its own, as in the control shaft isn’t rotating, your injection pump is crapping out internally. Time for rebuilding.

What gets me is the TPS controls the downshift, along with the programming in the TCM.
So how is the TPS creating WOT without the shaft moving and at the same time the internal gov/linkage fails do do its job creating the same WOT condition as the TPS
Or is the shaft actually moving.....

I would inspect the linkage and cable and the accelerator pedal carefully.
Does there seem to be ANY other influence that could be a "precursor" to the event????

See this scenario is why I was halfway serious about my "animal" remark, the electronic trans won't downshift if the injection pump went to WOT on it's own internally.
