Default Throttle Stuck wide open

Alright this is my second problem within 2 weeks, on my way to my friends house, And i gave it some pretty good throttle, well when i let off, the car didnt, I was kinda confused there for a sec while i was continuing to go faster and faster... I pressed in the clutch shut put it in neutral off the engine.."kinda bad idea". I realized i cant steer. I pulled the e-break up and got it to slow down while using what breaks i could from the breaks on the car.I pulled on the Throttle body and cable, there pedal jumped back. I had no problems on the way home. Im thinking there is some rust in the lines or somewhere on the throttle body. Allso this might be my problem with my car's Idle where it doesent keep a steady idle and it shuts its self off..

You need a throttle body cleaning and an alignment to start with, if there is more problems then I would look farther down the line.

Throttle body alignment is not for cars with a throttle cable, only for those with electronic throttle. Sounds like your cable is binding. Check all the areas for fraying or binding.
