another thing sam, and this is solid advice. IF your throttle sticks open while driving turn the ignition key back one notch to shut the engine off! then throw the transmission in neutral. i don't think it's possible to turn the key all the way off while in drive (assuming automatic). don't want to lock the steering wheel while in motion! that would suck a little. anyway, keep in mind when the engine shuts down you will loose power steering and power brakes. you'll still have them albeit they will just be more stiff and require a little more effort to actuate/use. had my throttle stick open on the Fixed Or Repaired Daily and had to do the above steps. turns out it was the throttle body cover or whatevthehell its called. i dunno. i got pissed off at it and ripped it off.

happy motoring!!
