Also To day was the first day i took my Comanche off road sense i bought it. WOO HOO [Goes great ]
Eagle Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 When my '88 did that, it was a hinge in the throttle linkage. The cable from the gas pedal goes through the firewall and connects to an arm down low on the left side of the engine, below the exhaust manifold. There's a pivot there. Mine had gotten rusty after many years of New England winters. I sprayed it liberally with PB Blaster (penetrating oil), worked it a number of times, then sprayed it some more. No more problem. You should also inspect the cable itself to ensure that it isn't frayed, preventing it from fully retracting.

moparmatt Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Man, if that ever happens again, put it in Neutral, then safely come to a stop and work it out. I had this happen with my first car.
