Stuck Throttle Cable.

["therealdmcvegas <DMCVegas@xxxx>" <DMCVegas@xxxx>]

This morning on my way to work. I started having a problem with my 
gas pedal only wanting to go down half way. I tapped the pedal a bit, 
and it finally came loose. Then suddenly while taking off from a stop 
light, my gas pedal hit the floor, and wouldn't come back up. I hit 
the clutch, and my RPM's redlined. I tapped the pedal, got no 
response, so I killed the engine, and pulled over to stop. Inspecting 
the throttle spool, I discovered that the microswitch washer had come 
loose, and one side was totally disconnected. This allowed the waser 
to spin around, and wedged my throttle spool in place. Luckily, the 
other screw was loose enough that I was able to unbolt the 
microswitch, remove it, and continue on my way to work without 
incident.

I don't normaly like posting every little thing that happens to my 
car (both good or bad), but I did want to pass this info along as an 
FYI to make sure that the screws are tight the next time anyone needs 
to remove their intake.
