TheDirtyJeep401 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 On mine it was the throttle cable, it would stick and it would have a very high rpm, to where i had to stomp on the pedal in order to get it to stop. might want to look at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Know what causes the cables to stick? A bad ground from the firewall to head. The system ends up grounding through the cable, which heats it up, and melts the plastic housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
