Throttle problem :/
I have an 87 Z28, i was out on the highway, and i gave it some gas to get around a car. well when i came out of it, my gas petal was stuck about half way down! the petal wasnt engaging the throttle so that was good but I only have about half my petal now. it just seems..stuck half way down but not engaging the throttle. what in the world could be wrong?

Sounds like it could be a kinked or broken cable. If it isn't that check your linkage and throtle body see if maybe it is stuck in open position. also check your return springs to see that you might not have broken one or had it to slip off. Other than that.....
