ian brown is on a distinguished road
Mine stuck open, having floored it off the slip road onto the motorway (which was empty) I was in 4th gear, changed to 5th and the revs shot up which scared me as I thought the engine was going to blow, once into 5th gear the car kept on accelerating. The throttle stayed down to the floor though and I was up 100mph, it happened so quickly, I managed to blip the accelerator, which came back up. It was lucky that it was at night and the motorway was reasonably empty. Changed trousers and cleaned the seat when I got home.
I haven`t looked at it yet but haven`t floored it since, maybe the cable is dirty or kinked.
What is an ICV?
