My throttle cable snapped while driving around the city yesterday. Only have 8000km on the car. Didn't stall as the computer kept it idling at least. Just pushed it to parking for now and will figure out the details on Monday. From my initial looks it seems that the cable broke about 12" from the gas peddle. I didn't notice any abrasions in the rubber sheath so not sure why it snapped.
Just an FYI and maybe consider taking a spare throttle cable if you are doing a long trip. It looks easy enough to self replace.
Anyone else had this happen?
