Help. 1987 syncro. My accelerator pedal is stuck in the full-on position. I
can pull (hard) on the cable in the engine compartment and get it back to
its normal position, but when I press down on the pedal again, it goes down
and stays there. Obviously there is some problem with the cable somewhere
along its run. Temperature here is 10 degrees F. Bus drove fine and was
parked outdoors for 3 hours before the problem happened.

Is this a symptom of a dying cable, which is maybe frayed at some point?
Will I be able to spot the problem area if I crawl under the bus with a
flashlight in my hand? This is my first winter with this bus, so I don't
know if this is maybe a cold-weather thing.

All advice and assistance gratefully accepted.
