I recently was putting my car through its paces when i went to shift into fourth at wot I missed the shift and then the throttle stayed stuck at wot, pinned the needle at 7000 rpm. Aftewr about 5 seconds I tapped tthe pedal and it came unstuck. I then trie to get it to stick agian in diff gears and it did the sam e thing sticking at wot. i did this about 4 times (
)then i finally got to work checked the linkage and it was working find. Then i figured out what the problem was it was my floor mat pinning the pedal only at wot . Do you guys think i did any damage???? Also a couple weeks later my car started to run like crap. Idleing low and running hotter than usual. Before my car would come up to 180 and wouldnt go beyond that. It was heating up over a notch higher on my guage past the halfway point on it. I was do for a tune up so I just had that done. The idle is fine now and the overheating is a lil bit better . NOw it goes almost to hte half way point then cools down to just above 180. I also heard like a clicking soun=d coming form both exhuast pipes that inever had before . Any thoughts??? THanks Oh yea ,shoulnt my rev limiter kicked in ??
