PROBLEM need some help
Ok, i was going up a hill and i floored it, then even after i let off the gas my car kept going like the gas was being floored. it really scared me. the car kept going like i was flooring it. i even had to run a red because i couldn't stop. when i went to neutral, it just revved to redline like i had my foot on the gas. it still does that whenever i start the car. still a little shooken up about it.
good thing i was near home and my friend was there to help me push my car. also a good thing it was 1am and no cars or i might have hit someone running that red. i drive a auto trans btw. anyone know what might be the problem? i'm going to call the dealership tomorrow. hope the warranty covers this.

Also I had a friend who in a camaro too, the floor mat got pushed down and blocked the gas peddle down and car accelerated too fast to react and he went off the freeway at over 80 and hit an 8 foot concrete pylon. Ouch.
Anyway I don't think I would have the nads to take out the cruise control fuse and drive it again.

Well, the throttle is not electronically controlled so it's definately throttle linkage related ... there's not other way physically possible in this world it could be any other way.
Warranty coverage, wth, it's as easy as 1-2-3, get under there and check to see where it's grabbing/sticking.
Stay away from the stealership, tehy'll
you for adjusting a cable that could be done in a Wendy's parking lot.

Open th hood, and follow the cable looking device connected to the throttle body. Make sure it doesn;t catch on anything when WOT, or even at rest. This happend to me one time, I had reinstalled my intake and went WOT,and it frekaed me the hell out 
Turned out it was sticking on one of the hose clamp bolt assemblies.
