Originally posted by DSMxTSi I don't think that is your problem cause I can't see an electrical current screwing with that cable, but it may be worth checking into.
Actually on one of my old 1G's I had the battery ground itself to the hood when I parked it one night, I came out the next morning to go to work and the battery was dead. Popped the hood and there was a spot on the hood from it arcing against it.
Put in another battery and put a piece of rubber on the terminal so it wouldnt hit the hood again and assumed I was good.
Start the car, its idling a little high, oh well, put in gear and go to leave but the Throttle wouldnt move.
I stepped on the pedal fairly hard and it went in but wouldnt release. The current had heated up the plastic inside the cable and fused it together.
Not sure if youve pressed your gas pedal or not but it may be what happened
