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)
I had no idea you were a mechanic. I didn’t even think you were a knuckle dragger, but now that I do, it clears up a lot of questions.
Was this rant of yours related to your specific question?
I must confess, when I was 20 years old I didn’t have a clue why the throttle was stuck, except that I was a few miles away from where I had just gotten some work done.
My home was about 40 miles away.
Now, if I was a smart guy like you, I guess I would have driven the car home, so I could brag about fixing the $5 part myself on Free Republic 15 years later. However, I must confess that I did not do that. Like one of them there in’lectule types, I drove the car back where I had just gotten the work done. Didn’t cost a dime. Thanks for caring though, really.
