On 12-14-1999 the headlight switch on my 1992 thunderbird was replaced under recall number 99s30. my guess would be the throttle cable snapped based on the fact that the pedal suddenly went limp and then i lost the ability to either accelerate or decelerate.*ak i thought i would make this report first and wait for your advice as to what to do. i have not yet had a mechanic look at the car. i then called a tow truck which towed the vehicle to my residence. the throttle is obviously stuck wide open and i think i probably incurred transmission damage getting it to stop. i waited a few minutes and started the car up again and it was racing at full throttle while in park. i was on an empty road and was able to get to the shoulder without incident.

i applied the brakes and managed to get the vehicle to stop by putting it in park while it was still moving and turning off the ignition. when i took my foot off the accelerator the car kept going at 55 mph. I was driving at approximately 50-55 mph when the accelerator pedal suddenly went limp under my foot.
