| I have a friend that is a lady that had a 1989 toyota camry that would refuse to use the cruise control because the gas pedal would get stuck. i tried it and sure enough it did get stuck when you had the cruise control on and you accelerated. applying the brakes did not unstick the pedal. i opened up the hood and the chain for the cruise control that pulled on the throttle would get stuck on the throttle body. i disconnected it and after that there no more problems but no cruise control. she can be reached by dialing 209-951-7423 and asking for toni. | |||
