have you been playing under the hood lately? i had my TB off for cleaning once and put the cruise control TB cable back on in an awkward way that it stuck open on me. i believe the cable was catching on the intake manifold (i think?).

he what's up guys thanks for the response, as crazy as it may sound I started looking at it more and found a walnut stuck under my throttle which was holding it wide part throttle to wide open throttle. I was dumbfounded and couldnt believe a walnut found its way under my throttle body. take it easy guys
