    Hi,just back from a short trip and the accelerator has decided to
    stick on,I managed to manually 'unstick' it but on continuation of
    journey it kept doing it,I have cleaned round cable in engine and
    doesn't stick when controlled from the engine,just when the pedal is
    depressed,does anyone know what the problem can be,it seems to be at
    the accelerator pedal rather than inside the engine,do I need to
    replace cable or is there a more simple solution to this,thnx in
    advance for any advice

    I had a problem with mine that was fixed by using some decent oil into the
    cable housing.
    Have you checked for any obvious clearance issues ? I think you should
    probably remove one end of the cable from it's mounting point and check to
    see how free the cable is. You would need to be VERY certain that you fix
    this and fix it well. Nasty things happen with stuck throttles.
