Oh that's funny. Reminds me of nearly the same only it was a Ford Falcon and when the spring broke, the mechanical arrangement and weight defaulted to wide open. I'm sure glad that was before the steering lockout when the key is turned off. Now they are going to no throttle when the brake is applied so how am I supposed to get a car home when the engine has to be kept rev'd up to stay running?

Long (looooooong) before electronic throttle control. As in a 1963 Rambler. The throttle return spring had broken when I stepped on the gas while accelerating. Turning off the ignition was the simple immediate action. Reconnected what was left of the spring and away we went. Fortunately, no bent metal or hurt people. John is potentially jumping to conclusions. Ghery S. Pettit From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Grasso, Charles Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 7:28 AM To: 'Andrew McCallum'; '[email protected]' Subject: RE: Toyota I agree with Johns comments. Looking at the title its my impression that Keith is forcibly making the case that EMI and/or manufacturing practices caused this crash. This is a dangerous case to make considering that there is no evidence of what caused the crash. As John points out – one can get mechanical “latch-up” too.
