   what exactly is it doing? you have your foot down but the revs stick half way? or your not touching the peddle but revs are stuck?

   have a look in the engine bay where the throttle cable attatches to the throttle body and try and close it that end. i'm guessing the cable is stuck from what you have said

    Same thing happen me once. intake leak can cause this. does it rev up and down on its own. also ICV i changed on mine sorted problem out straight away. clean valves on throttle body. if not any them then yes also could be cable itself

    Got car towed home this morning and had a look at it. The carb was stuck open. Got some carb cleaner and blasted it. It's working for now. Shud I change it or will it be ok

    Your car doesn't have a Carb, its injection. you mean the throttle body (the butterfly valve) should be fine now its cleaned up.

    Yes that's the one mate. Is it just an age thing that it gets stuck or is it the start of a different problem.
