My usual  method for filling up the coolant system involves having a
helper hold down  the gas pedal while I run between the radiator and the
tank in the  back.

Is there a way to do it without a  helper?

A  screwdriver judiciously placed in between the throttle body stop and
throttle  body lever set screw will do the trick.
