What causes a car throttle to stick wide open?
I have seen throttles stick wide open due to this neglect and that can be very scary. The problem is most often caused by corrosion on the throttle linkages at or around the engine valve cover. When the linkage balls and/or lever posts corrode they can stick and prevent the throttle from returning to idle.

Where is the throttle cable in a car?
Position the application throttle control in the fast throttle position. Then move the throttle control back 3/16″ (4.75 mm). Insert the control cable bowden wire in the proper hole of the engine control lever, which is located on the side of the carburetor air intake elbow.
When to move throttle control to slow or fast?
Move the application throttle control to the slow position, then to fast. Check the engine control to assure it stops against the high idle RPM stop bracket. NOTE: When the application throttle control lever is in the slow position the engine governor spring must be free of tension or pushing pressure. A non- free spring can affect the RPM.
