Yo! Kris - put one of these on your throttle cables

purpose?

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

want to reach for the throttle body & blip it when the motors running, hood open and all your drunk honda driving buddies are standing around...you don't want the cable to stick and embarass you.

Way more than that. My throttle cable sheath would pop out all the damn time - usually in the most awful places. Once it happened while I was the first in a left turn lane at a busy intersection. The engine revved andheld at about 3,500 and I couldn't do a damn thing about it. God the clutch smelled bad when I pulled off the road.

Finally figured out I could get that stupid paperclip thing and all my troubles were solved.

There is a foolproof device to take command of the situation. It's called the ignition key. You turn it off and the engine stops, even with the throttle cable incapacitated.

No, that's dangerous. A more correct approach is a method called neutral.

You put the car in neutral and it will keep on hitting the rev-limiter, untill you turn the car off.

[liquidtiger720]

hmm...what engine is this for?

[BigKriss]

m30

At least you still have power steering and brakes. And I am sure it's much better to hit the rev-limiter than to have the car drag in D while the engine is off on autos.
