Ooooh...that's a good one. I had that fail on my car.

There's a piece in the throttle linkage between the tunnel/firewall and the bell crank on the transmission that is designed to absorb vibrations. The original design is a rubber part with threads on both sides, but the rubber can tear and effectively disable the gas pedal. There's a factory fix that puts a metal "barrel" around the rubber part as a failsafe. Some cars have it some don't. My car didn't...

Here's the part: Pelican Parts - Product Information: 911-423-081-02-M260
