was driving along nicely, went to stop for some lights and the car felt odd. looked at the dash and it was happily doing 3000rpm while i tried to brake. i shoved the clutch in and let off the loud pedal and it just sat there at 3000. so i pulled over and turned it off. started her back up and its right back up to 3grand. i thought it was a stuck accel cable but when i opened the hood it was all fine. i could pull it free and it didnt feel like it was grabbing anywhere. started back up again and it's all fine, finished the last 400m to work quite carefully.
now, has anyone else had this happen and know what it is exactly. the throttle cable is prolly a year old now but i dont want this to happen in an emergency braking situation or anytime for that matter. |
