[DML] Re: Throttle cable stuck

["Tom Watkins" <watbmv@xxxx>]

Oh Yeah!! I had this one (as have many cold weather owners) There is
some water in your throttle cable line that is freezing when it gets
cold enough. I had P.J. Grady pull the old cable and put ina new one
and do the winterization recall on it. It involves injecting some
anitfreeze in the cable housing so it will not frezze again. There is
also a protective cap that will hinder any water from entering again. 
There is no way else to fix this. My car had spent it's first 17 years
in the South...no frezzing issues there, so the recall was not
performed. Now that the car is in Maine, with temps WAY below freezing
it became clear that I needed to get it done

Good Luck
