Just had same thing happen...I own a BDR and had a Lokar throttle cable...what happens, looking at mine is, the mount under dash that cable goes thru isn't aligned properly with pedal, which is causing it to wear a groove in cable sheath and then fray and bind. Mine stuck at near full throttle on way home last week...and I thought the car was exciting enough already! Showed pics to Lokar who told me this...I'm going back to the factory cable from BDR, it might not be stainless steel, but hopefully it WORKS better than it looks.
