Description of the problem	Date approximate. Ford taurus 2004. Vehicle accelerated and rpm increased on a downhill grade after removing all pressure from the accelerator peddle. On subsequent level grades vehicle did not slow down when the accelerator peddle was released. Braking was difficult. Upon inspection, the cable end had slipped out of its socket and jammed behind the control linkage. The ford garage said that ford had no recalls on the item and i would have to pay to replace the entire throttle body. Not having the money and wanting to await news from ford, i carefully drilled a small hole through the knuckle/linkage and then safety wired the knuckle to the linkage. I drive less than 6000 miles a year. It is still working but the weakened conditioned, original defect and subsequent temporary.
