MY THROTTLE STUCK!
As i was making a left turn through a light and my throttle sticks, the back end swings out and my car shoots forward and sends me over a curb into the center median.
I then sit on thebrakes and my car is sitting in the median at 3000rpm so i put it in neutral and shut it off. I get out of my car and do a walk around and nothing is dented or scratched exept for a big green scuff on my front bummper, thank god.
So i start my car and it idles fine and i drive it off the median and home. i poped the hood and cant find anything that could cause the throttle to stick.
Has this happend to anyone, what could cause it, please help i dont want that to happen again and something worse happens. thanks for your help

Re: MY THROTTLE STUCK! (subman)
Very likely something physically held the TBs open for a bit.
In my case it was a piece of the intake tubing. Pull the TB and look in the intake and make sure it still isn't there.
