Anyone else have this issue?

For months I’ve been scratching my head as to why my engine seemed to rev up after taking high G turns when I clearly have my foot off the accelerator.

It was pointed out to me that my right foot actually hits the throttle cable under lateral load. I was always watching my foot which seemed to be off the pedal but didn’t realise my heel was impacting on the cable causing it to rev up as I was braking.

Has anyone else had this issue and how do you deal with it?

Do you have a heel rest? That might help if you have something to brace your foot against to keep it from hitting the cable.

You could also give the cable a little more slack so when your foot bumps it, it doesn’t engage immediately.

I actually had a sort of similar problem where the velcro on my shoes caught the cable if I hit a curb and than It would get stuck. simple solution, duct tape
