Replace the throttle cable. Use OEM part here, as the after-market part will not hold up to the environment, and will corrode/freeze up

Arrggghhhhh ... there I go jumping to conclusions again. My bad.


Of course, SW2cam is right, the sticking part may be the pedal, and not the cable itself ...

My Pedal stuck a while back, but it was only in the idle position. It was easily resolved by cleaning the throttle body. I''d check that

Cleaning the throttle body ........ thats the first thing I''d do.

A can of fuel injector cleaner in a spray can does the trick.
