Hi guys bit of a weird one this,

as I was driving home on lunch upon accelerating my pedal stuck firmly to the floor thus making the engine bounce off the red-line, I managed to get it unstuck by squeezing my foot under the pedal and forcing it back to a normal position.

Any ideas why this has happend or how to resolve? Also anyone had similar problems before?

The mat didn't get in the way, did it ? That's the usual cause of a stuck throttle.

Dan when you turn on the car with your key does it go straight up to red line?

If you look at the throttle cable is there any breaking of the cable check from the peddal
Thought to the throttle housing.

If you sit there with the car off and just jam the throttle pedal to the floor, does it still get stuck? Or was it just a one-off?
