  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I have a question for you all here. Has anyone dealt with the throttle acting like it is stuck wide open? This happened once last summer and now 2 times today. I will clean the throttle body on the car later tonight when I get home. Is there anything else that could be the cause? Our car has about 75k on it.

Thanks!

I took the throttle body off and cleaned it really good. I did find the intake pipe was loose. I believe when I put the air filter in I must have missed tightening it up. I then unhooked the battery for 10 minutes to reset everything. If it acts up again I will start doing some more figur'in. Hopefully I will not have to do anything!
 
Hopefully you fixed it. Keep us updated!

We just drove the car 2500 miles with no issues. Hopefully it will not happen again.

This car was a blast running that kind of distance. We constantly got 24.2 mpg on the trip.
