blasting off from traffic lights near my house as i usually do.i noticed that when changing into second the throttle pedal decided to stay glued to the carpet.

i was aproaching a roundabout at the time as well,so i thought...bugger.

any way i dipped the clutch and braked for the roundybout causing the engine to bounce off the rev limiter about three times.

so i decided to slam my foot on and off the gas pedal.

hey presto the pedal bounced back up.

i gave it a dab of oppo and i was on my way.

anyway i am now wondering if the pedal got stuck on the carpet or the cable is shagged.

Check the throttle body for deposits & the pivot point spring of the throttle pedal.

Good decision not driving the poofta car.

i t has felt a bit sticky lately when i floor it.

Clean your throttle body & spring with choke cleaner & re-lube.

You could fill the throttle cable with WD40 & see if that helps.

Otherwise, if it's the floor mat, diall 911 on your cellphone & bleat stupidly at plod into it whist crashing into the nearest parapet. Oh, it has to be a Toyotota for that to woirk.

So where was the nudity?

I've been scammed into reading this thread!

soulcrew

I'm quite relieved at the lack of nudity, to be fair.

This happened to me in the S once, although not quite as dramatic as it was on a dual carriageway way in a straight line.....still scary though!....and it was the carpet!
