I drove two miles with the key in my hand wide open down the highway. By this time im running about 90 with stop lights ahead. i had to stop somehow i thought id kill the motor. I set the e brake and held the brakes down tried to kill the motor and it still wont die. finally the clutch burned up and i got out and unplugged the batteries and it was over. Got the rig home its sitting in the shop 80 degrees and it runs fine throttle works. Why in the heck would i be able to run a few miles with the key in my hand. Also i looked everywhere and i couldnt find ice or any blockage of the throttle cable. the it moves just fine. I just want to know why it wouldnt die?? any ideas
