Hi guys,i'm sure i may have seen a thread before on this bit must ask the question. Overtaking this morning and the throttle jams on. It feels sticky half way down and when i start her up the high revs sends it back. I'd much appreciate any thoughts,

most likely a sticking/frayed/about to break any second throttle cable, get it checked/replaced asap.

Is that 90 km/h ? yes

My throttle was sticking when I first got it.
It turned out to be corrosion on the bushes of the pedle pivet shaft. A few regular sprays of WD sorted it out.
BUT if your using your Tuscan regularly I cant see it being this problem.

had same problem, half way down too as it happens, but doesn't really matter where it is.....replace asap and you'll be much happier with throttle precision and avoid a big mess..! It's not so expensive to do
