RE: problem need some help, idle sticking
Off topic, but about 4 years ago a mechanic at the shop I work at put the hose clamp on a thottle body facing the wrong direction. When the lady went WOT (it was a minivan) it hooked on the clamp and stuck, and instead of putting it in neutral or turning the key, she just took on the median and ended up getting stuck with the engine bouncing off the rev limiter untill the police arrived. That was expencive for the shop.[8D]

I had my throttle get stuck on my 95 sable, luckly I was in a parking lot. I never thought to shift, I just took off, and kept going, till it let goMy friend said I three wheeled it around a median. Scared the **** out of me and the car I almost hit.
