Throttle stuck wide open at 14psi
#16
Same
Hey guys, so just experienced one of the craziest moments in my sc owning life.
Headed down the freeway the lane i was in merged into 1 so i quickly get on it to pass the truck and once i pass the truck i let off at about 75-80 wellllllllllllllllll my car decided to keep going so here i am now doing 110+ weaving in and out of cars yelling at the top of my lungs stomping the pedal up and down trying to regain cable feel.
After throwing it in neutral and bouncing off the rev limiter i finally get it off the road and turn it off, after about 5 minutes i start it up and its fine.
Now noticing on the way home every time i go WOT it sticks,
Narrowed it down to the springs in the throttle cable assembly being worn out or something, first i though it must be the WOT switch shorting out but no upon further inspection of throttle and trans cables when you pull them tight as if going WOT they stick in the same position. Also springs feel very worn out.
figured id share this scary *** experience with my sc bretherin
