some chance there may be a blocking item near the throttle cabes that prevent it from moving smootly?..


i have had that happen a couple times where a mod has a hose or a clamp in the way...

it is pretty easy to see if they move without obstruction.

Fix it quick. The obstruction could cause the gas pedal to be stuck open while driving. Possible causes: 1/ Carpet bunched up under the gas pedal. 2/ Foreign object under the gas pedal. 3/ Rubbing near throttle body. 4/ Corrosion in throttle cable. 5/ Gunk built up in throttle body, etc.
