If you still have your wits about you and it starts to rev too high, put it in the highest gear you’ve got. 5th or 6th in a manual or 3rd in an automatic.

Can’t wait to hear the logic behind your advice.

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
