    MY throttle cable is messing up!

    my throttle cable is either f*cked up or sumthing. I hit the gas and let go. but the car is still acting as if my foot was still on the gas! It's not to bad, but it's staying at 2000 rpms. And it's really pissing me off! if anyone has ever had this problem let me know what you did to fix it!

    clean your throttle body. they always get dirty and cause sticky throttles. mine had a huge "barrier" you had to break through to get the gas movable for a while. cleaned, went away. i was afraid it was the cables but its just the butterfly valve.

    Check the throttle cable is not being obstructed from moving.

    Sounds like your cable need a lil adjustment, or its being pulled by something. Make sure the cable is not being held by anything under the hood and that the loop on it is not being pushed in anyway.

    Not how fast your car goes but how good u drive going fast.
