Just as the title states that what happened. Luckily i was still going fast enough to use cruise control to control the throttle (the pedal was dead) till i got off on my exit. then i improvised and got it to my best friends shop. crazy experience. ever happen to any of you guys? common problem? probable cause?

Happened to me when I had my 96 Altima, only worse. My cable was frayed and got caught in a WOT position, I attempted to use the brakes but they were of no use. So I quickly threw the gear to neutral and pulled over to the shoulder and immediately killed the ignition. Scary

that's an odd occurrence on a CL.

My mom had a tank, an 88 crown vic, & the throttle cable had this little clip on it from preventing WOT when pressing the gas. That broke 1 day. That was fun... WOT without touching the gas pedal.

Man thats scary, I had a throttle on an old suzuki katana get stuck one time, imagine WOT on a bike.

I haven't heard of this happening but I can definitely see how it could. Repositioning the throttle body on an SC moves the cables in a way that they can kink. I've seen mine settle into a position that isn't straight.

damn. well luckily for me it just snapped as opposed to geting stuck in a WOT postition.

Very lucky!

My brother had a Chevelle with a pretty hot motor and the throttle was pinned wide open once on me when the motor mount broke. That was definitely an "OH SHIT" moment.
