Hi all. I overtook some slow traffic at the weekend, and when accelerating, the throttle stuck wide open - car accelerated from 60mph and kept picking up speed (to over 90). I managed to jam the auto box into neutral, the engine screaming and redlining. I've always had manual cars before, so go easy on me, have never been in this situation. Called an AA man, who sprayed some WD on the throttle cable where it coils around at top of engine. He suggested I check forums to see if it's a known issue. Does anyone know what I can do / read, to make sure it doesn't happen again.
ps. accelerator wasn't stuck under car mat!
