Description of the problem	I read this story u. S. Investigates ford tauruses for stuck throttles by peter valdes-dapena @peterdrives march 12, 2012: 1:19 pm et and when it happened to me did not think much about it but after reading this i am now concerned. I just pulled out from a gas station accelerated to about 30mph when i notice it was still accelerating without my foot on the accelerator pedal. As it was still gaining speed i became nervous and put it into neutral it did rev up to a hi tach speed (5000) or better. I kicked the accelerator pedal quick and hard to see if that would knock it down before i would have turned it off but it did work. I latter stopped opened the hood looked for anything obvious around the area where accelerator & speed control cable come to and found the speed control cable not connected to the ball. Reattached it but seemed loose plastic seemed to be worn some. But has fallen off again. Checked the speed control cable where it goes into the control box seemed to be loose and no binding. In all the years i have had this car have had this problem one time.... Oh and by the way just before i kicked the accelerator i did try to turn on/off the speed control thinking that somehow it had engaged but had no effect.
