Left house and proceeded downhill on gravel driveway and then turned left onto main road which is a hill rising approxately 200 feet over .5 miles. at top of hill let off accelerator but the speed was still increasing. tapped accelerator, pulled floor mat away from gas/break peddle area, tapped accelerator, whole time depressing break with both feet. finally cut off ignition at approximately 55 miles per hour. i coasted the car backwards with engine off and turned it around. when i restarted car the engine was at idle and i drove it home without depressing accelerator. when i checked car at home i observed that the rubber thimble covering throttle cable at throttle was deterioted. i pulled the rubber thimble off and observed that the rubber had entered the throttle cable housing and was the cause, jamming the cable at the accelerated speed. i cleared the cable and housing of the embedded rubber and car accelerated/deaccelerated normally. a precursor to this was that my gas mileage had decreased dramatically on the last fill up, saturday, from 19mpg to less than 12mpg. i was looking for a leak and had intentions of bringing it into the repair shop on monday (tomorrow) | |||
