wen i bought the car (96 plymouth neon atx) and was about 2 miles away from the guys house and the throttle body stuck wide open and the brake pedal was solid i tried to over power the brakes but no luck ended up stopping using the ebrake and shuting the car off and after i did that then the oil pan gasket blew out completely and had a puddle of oil under the car anyone know why other then just a sticky throttle body?

 

bad throttle return spring ??? frayed throttle cable??? Pedal trouble ???

 

happened to me before. where the intake clamps onto the throttle body, if you have the clamp in the wrong position, the throttle body will be able to open but won't close.

 

ok but what would cause the brake pedal to get solid when it happened?

 

The lack of vaccum because the car was floored. A huge problem is the battery tray cracking then is rests on the throttle cable on the tb.

 

so that would cause the brake pedal to get solid?

 

You need the vacuum to run the power brake booster, and push the fluid to and from the master cylinder.

 

i had that happen to me in my 78 magnum looked at my friends in the car and called it cruise control shoulda seen their faces ( speedo pegged at 100 and still accelerating) lol any way i pumped pedal few times and it stopped found the problem to be the pedal/cable assembly under the dash got caught in some wires

 

o0o k im going to look at what damage happened to it today and ill let you guys know thanks

 

ok i figured out why the throttle got stuck wide open the battery tray got wedged under the throttle holding it wide open the part that is suppose to hold the positive cable to the battery so i figured i will just cut the battery box apart so it wont happen again and i was gunna use a zip tie to hold the wires away from it so it doesnt get hung up
