[QUOTE="cgg074, post: 2230623, member: 17275"] Today I was racing my buddy's 03 Cobra and the RPM's on my Cobra got stuck on the redline (fuel cutoff). I couldn't do a thing other than turn off the engine and drive it to the shoulder lane. I was very scared to drive my car with no brake and no power steering at that speed. Then I started the engine again and everything was normal. We raced again and the RPM's got stuck AGAIN in the fuel cutoff. Turned off the engine and when I turned it on again the RPM's just went up to the redline. I shut off the engine. I took a look at the accelerator pedal and it has a bolt on the back side that was STUCK in the carpet. I started the engine again and drove very carefully to my house; went for some scissors and cut the carpet around the pedal. Then drove my baby again and it was great. [B]Has this happened to anyone??[/B] Could the fuel cutoff damage the engine in some way?? I hope NOT. I know the fuel cutoff is there to prevent engine damage, but you never know. Everything seems fine to me. No weird engine noise so far. I take good care of my car, specially the engine. [/QUOTE]
