| My throttle plate broke. i was driving down a county road, i let off the accelerator and my truck continued to accelerate to uncontrollable speeds of 75 m.p.h. i then pulled over immediately to check to make sure my accelerator pedal was not stuck somehow. i started my engine and it idled a little higher than normal at about 2000 r.p.m.'s. i didnt think too much of it and started home. by the time i was at my house i could barely control my truck, and was not able to push in the clutch because the engline flew to over 3700 r.p.m.'s if i did so. when i got home, i called a tow service and had it towed to a mechanic. he said my throttle plate had broke which he had never seen before and said i was very lucky to be alive, much less have an engine. he fixed it for $510.*ak | |||
