Happened to me once with a 1981 throttle froze wide open going up a long hill!!!   What had happened was that one of the rubber covers had come off one of the cable connections and water had entered and then when the water froze, it grabbed the cable and froze it in place.  Made for an interesting few miles to the next exit.  The shaft had to be blown out and lubed and the problem never re-appeared.  M

 I  tried  to  leave  work  last  night  and  when  I  started  the  '87  Vanagon  w/  manual  trans,  the  pedal  seemed  stuck.  I  gave  it  a  little  more  pressure  and  then  it  went  to  the  floor.  I  checked  the  throttle  at  the  engine  and  it  wouldn't  move.  It  was  in  the  teens  and  single  digits  last  night  so  I  thought  some  water  got  in  there  somewhere  and  then  froze.
