Posted 26/05/08 11:02 AM Author Share Posted 26/05/08 11:02 AM Yeah Jo tried that theory.... in fact first thing I looked at. The mats have a cut out and don't sit under the pedal.... even if slightly sideways.Cheers.....

Grab the trottle pedal and try and push it straight up on the pivot shaft. My pedal had slipped down enought to jam on the floor mate. Kicking the cr@p out of the pedal caused it too much back up but i didnt click into the detent.

So reading that it must be something physical with the throttle boddy....but then you’d think it would sense something wrong and cut spark/fuel wouldn’t ya? Oh well, hopefully Johnny will have an answer Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/45941-throttle-sticks-at-wide-open/page/2/#findComment-682802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 27/05/08 02:15 AM Author Share Posted 27/05/08 02:15 AM OK... good news - there was no quibble from the guys at Torque Ford - full setup is being replaced on Thursday. They were horified, had a quick look - no obvious glaring problem - and asked for me to be first on the line on Thursday a.m.. Their thoughts are around potentiometer and kickdown mechanism. Will let you know if more comes to light on the day.Green - car's been mine all the way... so no previous damage.Hiddeous - will try that again - but already had a pretty fair shove on it and it *seems* ok.Dags. What can I say. Many thanks for your hours and hours of searching through various threads useful and not. (Maybe HE"S the one that is able to use the search function.....)Oh - and Tab - still no sign of the ......In the meantime - remember - if it sticks on the floor and you're heading into the scenery :fear (5): , neutral is your friend.
