  I found a problem that resulted in similar symptoms, but had it's origin at the 
cable end in the firewall, where it connects with the pedal. The 1 1/2" cable ferrule 
left it's seat and it's end was pressing against the holder. This increased the 
housing length and caused the cable to come under tension in it's housing.
   The result was the accelerator stayed on when there was no pressure on the 
pedal. Easy to look up above the pedal and see if the ferrule is out of place.  Bob in 
Delaware. 
    Anyone near me? My '93 may be evicted by the County and need a place to be... 
This shouldn't happen to a '93.
