The throttle plate would not return on it's own under the spring tension and I never once had a hung throttle. The (very clever) drive by wire system ford use is able to drive the throttle blade open and closed. If the PCM tries to closed the throttle and the throttle blade does not respond it will cut fuel and spark to the point where the motor will barely run.TL:DRCheck your throttle pedal cover, they have been know to slide down the throttle pedal lever and jam against the flow.EDIT I have had a hung throttle in my old BA ute, Was cause by driving home in work boots and dragging the throttle pedal cover down till it hit the floor. I had to reach down and pull the throttle back up by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disconnected the cruise control motor cable to isolate it and didnt have a problem again.Forgot about it when I traded it in, dealer re-connected it and when it was started in the workshop it went to redline in neutral and blew. A mate in the fire service attended, said he had never seen that much smoke without a fire! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wrote it off into a power pole one night, the police did not believe the accelerator got stuck and he got charged/fined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
