Mike, I saw this happen to a guy at a q club event........  The plastic end
link (furthest from the t-body) for the cruise control popped off and jammed
itself in the throttle linkage.....  Teh fact that you have no cruise makes
me think you might ck that cruise linkage at the throttle body......   I
think the plastic part is $.80 at the dealer.....
