selbekk 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Try to tie a couple of helium balloons to your shoe laces. Will make your foot lighter. Your corrado isn't the only one, as far as I have understood. This problem, or "throttlus maximus", in the correct terminology, is one of the most known problems with the corrado. Known signs of throttlus maximus is a very low mpg, uneven tyre wear (usually especially hard on the front tires for some reason), and loss of driving privilegies. There is no known cure for this problem, but the balloon-trick has helped me a lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corradophil 3 Posted February 17, 2006 Somone keeps putting specialy desgined pad trimmed in matching carpet under the throttle of mine to stop this terrible problem, AKA the mat. I have learned to live with this condition, but do accept it can cause serious injury and even be life threatening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STORM 2 0 Posted February 17, 2006 I believe Lancs constabulary have a day therapy course for those particularly afflicted with this condition - it is recommended if only to avoid permanent scarring to one's driving licence Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4stud 0 Posted February 17, 2006 This almost sounds the same as "roundabout maximus". That's what mine suffers from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Monkey 0 Posted February 17, 2006 I'm afraid i've advanced to the last stage, where I can only pull my foot off the pedal just long enough to change gear! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timg60 0 Posted February 18, 2006 I have looked into this, seems to be a very common problem with corrado owners, only sorted with flashing blue lights :lol: :lol: :lcop: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
