[Roadsters] Throttle sticks open

[RWM]

Audi 5000...   ?

Seriously, if the throttle cable was recently adjusted/tightened when 
cold, it will often result in a partial/increasing throttle as the 
engine compartment warms up.  The cable needs a bit of play when cold 
and preferably should be checked when hot.. (Ask me how I know.)
