Started it again and the accelerator was still the same, the after another minute or so (after me putting the car in reverse for about 6 inches) the pedal worked and the car was fine, which it has been ever since 
Has anyone else had similar problems to me?? |
It is your throttle sticking for sure , cleaning it wont cure it as it sticks because the plastic housing is distorted .
