I tell you, boy is that some scary shi when it happens. Especially if your in city traffic

I just wanted to tell my story of stuck throttle, because it happened...today! I have had my 89 LX 5.0 Notch for a few weeks now, and have never had a problem... Today, it was raining, so on the way back from work i was sliding corners and whatnot, but then, once I got onto an extremely narrow two-lane, one way street, of course with heavy traffic (5 P.M.) I took off from a light at quarter throttle, if that, and as I lifted off the throttle... nothing happened, it kept accelerating... in that moment I reflected back to this post... I remember hearing about the problems people had with this, so, I tried to brake, which I knew wouldn't do much... Soon I was coming up to the next intersection with a red-light... I was probably doing 40... nothing crazy, but considering the speed limit was 25, and it is so narrow, I was worried... I tried to tap the throttle a fewtimes to try to knock it off whatever it was hanging up on, but to no prevail... I then put it in neutral and turned the key off as it began revving... This was right before the light, so i tried to hit the brakes, but of course... no power prakes... So I coasted through at a strong 35mph... People looking at me like I was an ***... I pulled over and popped the hood and tinkered with the throttle cable, and saw it pop back into place... So, overall, not as scary as spinning out or anything... but I was afraid for my little stang...

i cut the carpet out today and it still feels like something is holding the pedal down

is there any way to adjust the pedal?

Wow, glad to hear no one got hurt. This seems to be quite a common problem. Hopefully someone can figure this out soon. Best of luck to all with their diagnosis.

Might wanna look at that summit t/b. How long have you had it?

im trying to finish up my HCI and i am having this problem also

think you have to get a good angle on the cabe to the botttom of the TB other wise the spring will lock up and throttle will get stuck open

CARPET!!!!!!! used to happen to my ever once in a while, redlined my old engine nasty, turns out it was being held at WOT by the plastic mats that the previous owner had on there

i need to try it out in a parking lot

if it sticks ill try re-routing the cable.

right now the cable is routed high.. meaning it goes over the salt n pepper shakers and basicaly sits near the brake lines then it loops down and hooks onto the tb.
