Aright, so the night starts out beautifuly. My girlfriend calls me and tells me to pick her up as fast as i can, so i go and do that, she was having family trouble. so we go out driving just to get her away for awhile. well, while driving we come across a probe gt with a guy riding solo. i didnt plan on racing cuz she was with me so i just take off slowly. Well he gets on it so i do i couldnt help my self, she gets scared and i let off. well he starts toyin with me and we go from a roll and we go to about 110 and shes about to **** herself. so i apologize profusely and shes still mad when we get back to her house. well i follow her rampage in and apologize some more just not working then i spot some pics of this dude she went to prom with (i wasnt very happy about this) i left and as i was leaving i got on it hard in reverse and when i went to shift into first the car reved itself to 7k and wouldnt stop so i turned it off took a look at the throttle linkage and nothing was wrong so i took a look at my afm and nothing was abnormal. I cant figure out what the hell is wrong... need some help, sorry about the venting at the beginning.

well i played with the throttle and heard a pop and now it idles at 3.5-4k still clueless i cleaned all electrical contacts that have to do with air or fuel and nothing has brought the idle down anyfurther... any more ideas...i just got my new lsd in and i wanna experiment some more. but, i am waiting for the new halfshafts so this will take up the time in between, however nervewracking it is.

 

bump, i could use some more advice, REted tWeAk or icemark for example....

 

Maybe if you put the real problem in the title... someone would help.

 

well hopefuly you read the thread icemark...what are your ideas or sugg.? im pretty close to actually calling mazda as a last ditch effort...but i dont want to do that cuz that means money...money i dont have to spend. any and all advice is greatly appreciated

 

my ideas are that next time put the problem in the title, and avoid all the hard to read crap about your girl friend... stuff like that belongs in the lounge, and will loose anyone that reads it.

This is all you needed to post:
Based on that. I would say you have a stuck throttle. Is the car still doing the problem? And if so, did you check the floor mat to see if it jammed up against the accell pedal???

 

Icemark's not big on socializing

Seriously though, sounds like you need to pull the TB off, inspect, clean. Verify the throttle cable freely moves, etc..

 

yea bro do what icemark said man and what vaughnc just got over all of the stuff that involves the "throttle" check it all if you can then i guess yes your last resort is Mazda Dealer =/

I had the Same Problem few months back my cable was loose and jammed into the pully pulling it tighter..not that it is the same problem! just trying to help

 

Do you buy any chance have cruise on your car? It could also be stuck. I would pull the throttle cable and the cruise cable (if you have one) and go from there.

 

icemark-thanks, for the ideas...i was having a bad night and was a little...ah... frustrated. though i dont think i post like a neanderthal maybe i do but i assure you my intelligence is above that of an ape. thanks again though. yes, the car is still reving high but i have managed to lower it by temporarly disabling the cruise control that was the most significant drop. brought it down to 2.5 3k most of the time. i will be taking vaughnc's advice and i will be pulling the tb off and inspecting it tommarow as i didnt have time today at work. hopefully when i put it back on it will fix the problem. thanks to everyone who has tried to help.
