Ok, I won't pull a WRX kid -- Promise.
I figured a safe way out of the throttle lock. Neutral!
I often stomp my gas pretty hard; overall I drive my escort pretty hard. Now, sometimes when I stomp the gas the throttle gets stuck, and I often don't notice it revving over my music until I try to break. It normally gets stuck going around 38-46MPH. I was thinking it may have something to do with my transmission. Ford makes terrible automatic transmissions from what i've been told, but when I told my mechanic what had happened over the phone, he told me that it was my "idle air sensor" I do believe he called it. He told me there was some junkers out behind his shop that he could just take one off of or use parts from to fix mine. I'd also like to add, if it makes any difference, that when I push my car into neutral during a throttle lock, it revs up about halfway then slips out of the lock and back down to idle. I'd give you RPM's but unfortunately i'm tach-less.
Can I get some other opinions on the matter?
Thank you!
