February 9, 200620 yr Ok, so its a DR 4wd 1985 GL wagon with about 122k on it. I had just merged back onto the highway after filling up and i noticed the throttle was sticking once i got it into fifth gear. Go i give the accelerator pedal a tap....still stuck. So i move into the middle lane on I-10 eastbound, shift into N and low and behold the tach shoots to 8k. I shut the car down - going about 85 mph - and coast into the shade on the sholder. I popped the hood and one bolt/two washers are just sitting there on my maifold. Throttle body is fully extended, a lot of cable is visible, and it is off the tensioner spring. What do you think, snapped throttle cable or just a toast throttle body mechanism? When the car is fired up the tach shoots to 8k. ------ Neal
