Just breath deeply and get some much needed oxygen into the old brain. Eventually, you’ll get it.

That’s if you want to keep driving and control your speed a bit more. That’s how you can keep driving a car with a stuck throttle without blowing the engine.

I did 3 or 4 miles like that once. Through that method and strategic shutting off of the engine and coasting in neutral, I was able to make it in to get the car fixed.

It ain’t brain surgery. Maybe if you read the rest of my posts or the earlier posts that I posted in the thread, you wouldn’t be left in the dark. Try and keep up with the conversation, will ya? :p

Oh I am having so much trouble keeping up with such a very intellectual person who only comes across as a blowhard to us knuckle draggin mechanics out here in the boonies.

Einstein you still did not address my specific question. Obviously someone who kept driving off and on until getting to some shop, hasn’t a clue about sticking throttle (by the way unless its possibly one of the new fangled PLC operated Toyotas, in 50+ years of driving and working on cars, I have never seen a throttle stick that required paying someone couple of hundred to replace a $5 return spring on)
